After scratching my head about which one for a while (I believe there's a
thread re radios on the Paddlewise pages) I bought the Raytheon 102, which
is the direct successor to the Apelco 520, just recently. Consumers Marine
Electronics, 1-800-332-2628 currently has (still, I hope) it on special
for $189 plus $7 shipping. Regular price of $199 is still probably the
best price around. e
