The only thing new that is probably worth checking out is that the ICOM is now powered by a lithium battery instead of NiCads. This means no hassles about full draining before recharging etc. I don't know how submersible it is. ralph JCMARTIN43_at_aol.com wrote: > > The Standard HX350S (submersible) still gets my vote. Standard --- or the Japanese company that now owns them --- is good to its warranty and then some (although incredibly slow on service). Don't recommend the remote mike/speaker made for this, certified submersible as well. Can't prove it, but I think the connector from the remote mike to the radio itself was the source for the water incursion I had with mine. > > This was the "radio of choice" consensus last time we tried this thread, a year or so ago.
