	I have the Uniden 979HH with Seaphone. Not waterproof, and the only
handheld with Seaphone which is a key reason I bought it. 
	As for the handheld being a safety item, I say forget it [ for 90 per cent
of the time in Australia ] ;  its nice to have to 'phone home' via
Seaphone, but that is about all.  Telstra VHF coverage is patchy along the
NSW coast Nick, or am I telling you something you already know?
