Ralph Diaz did an admirable test report in the Folding Kayaker Newsletter. Otherwise, you might find a review online, available at seakayakermag.com. Just to put my 2 centavos in I use an Icom IC-M3A and a Uniden of unknown model nomenclature. The IC-M3A is not water proof and therefore it gets a radio bag for trips. But, the batteries last me at least for the duration of a trip of 7 days in length and I can add AA batteries for after that period of time. It is an excellent product and they make some really nice products that are submersable. <A HREF="http://www.icomradio.com">http://www.icomradio.com</A> The Uniden, is submersable and I use it for weekends as the battery life lasts only about 2 days and has no provision for alternating w/ a AA pack. I wear it during roll practice, day trips, etc and it works just fine. One day it won't but it only cost me $100 USD. Its a pretty good radio but its 3 years old and one day I'll roll and it'll come up smoking and I'll be writing you to ask what you bought. Have a great day!-Rob *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
