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.
