Works great and is submersible as I keep it in my PFD pocket and often roll or scull around while its still there. Sometimes it rides up on the deck. (don't try this at home, though, won't be responsible for yours, kids!) Down side: Trips over three days will find it back home in its cradle while the Icom gets bagged and brought along. The nicad batteries on the Uniden aren't rechargeable or replaceable in the field. The Icoms are field replaceable with AA. In my humbly applied opinion, one had better be frugal on radio useage if you bring a radio along that cannot be resupplied or recharged in the field.
