I know we go through the great VHF disscussion every so often, but I haven't been paying too much attention since I bought my Standard HX 150S a couple of years back, and I'm not planning to upgrade anytime soon. A paddling buddy of mine is looking at either the Yeasu FT-10 or FT-11. One of these models is apparently an up-gradely "waterproof" version for an extra $75.00 or so. Anyone on this list have any experience or knowledge of the Yeasu brand in general and/or these particular models? How might they compare to Icom or Standard? We'd like the contenders to be at least splashproof, preferably dunkable, small enough to fit in a PFD pocket, easy to operate through a baggy, and able to run on both internal ni-cads or regular non-rechargable batteries. Any help appreciated.
