I've always had an Icom through West Marine, but that's mostly because I worked next to West Marine for years and it was convenient. The main frustration is that the hand-held bag lasts less and less time each year and I always have to replace it. It gets multiple weather channels, has dual-watch if you want it (for channel sixteen if you are on a local channel) and some other features. It's important to test it often as once it magically stopped sending, which of course I found out when I tried to alert someone that kids where dropping rocks over the Deception Pass bridge while I had a class in there. West Marine fixed it for free.
