Re: [Paddlewise] VHF Radio

Doug,

I've been using a HX 150S for three years now and I'm totally
satisfied. Had it up in the Charlottes last year on a two week
trip and with a fair amount of use, the battery held up well. I
like the fact that you can run it with alkalines as well as the
nicad. Good large display and the programmable buttons
are well thought out. A quality unit!
