[Paddlewise] VHF

 Ok, Great advice.    Now I just have to pick through it and decide.  I wish
my juicy rationalization about the radio serving double duty in my truck had
been feasible.  It would have been easier getting it passed Congress (the
wife).  But seeing as I live three hrs inland I don't think anyone would be
listening anyway. I didn't think there was a difference between regular CBs
and marine CBs, but then again there is a rhyme and reason for most
regulations. I wonder if most radio battery packs can be upgraded to the non
memory type of rechargeables.  I had never heard of that type. 


     Where do most of you carry the radio?  Do you attach it to your PFD?  To
bring up the book "Deep Trouble" again, people really seemed to get in trouble
when they became separated from their kayaks which also contained their
signal/distress equipment. 





      Thanks for the info......
