Any suggestions for less expensive VHF's? I have a hard time justifying (to myself and my better half) a $200 VHF with all the bells and whistles. I live 600 miles inland, so I'd only need a marine VHF for the 1 or 2 times a year I go to the coast to go paddling. VHF radios are not all that common on the inland waters in the western part of the US. I'm probably better off with a cell phone for emergency communications on lakes & rivers here.
