I haven't noticed what size your VHF is. I have the little Raytheon 100 which 
I carry in an AquaSafe I got at West Marine. They sell a larger size, too.
    I try to leave a lot of air in the bag, which makes mine float if it 
takes a spill. I've been toying with the idea of a foam float I could attach 
to it in some fashion but haven't really worked at it yet. I keep it tethered 
to the deck because I can't carry it on my PFD. I can't find a place on me 
that I can get to it and that it isn't in the way of a paddlefloat reentry. 
All that stuff on my chest and the high back deck of the boat just aren't a 
good fit.
