[Paddlewise] Standard/Raytheon VHFs

	Hi Ralph, 
	I should have tried out the Raytheons when I was at the Downtown Boathouse
with Eric Stiller some years back! [ My first encounter with a Klepper!].
Thanks for your advice;  you have a depth of knowledge on these things
which makes P/W so worthwhile.  It sounds like 'ease of use'  and price
would be the factors in choosing between Standard and Raytheon.
	The one-watt difference, 5w versus 6w is pretty meaningless in VHF terms
of course, with antenna efficiency much more critical than output power.
	In my previous posting I sloppily misquoted the 'waterproof' standard BTW,
apologies to P/Wisers. It is JIS-7.   Cheers, peterR
