The batteries are a hassle, but it's held up to my frequent swims and submersions without any problems. The small size is very nice, but I don't know how it compares to the Standard 350. One requirement for my next VHF will be support for alkaline batteries - long trips can easily outlast regular rechargeable batteries.
