Look on the PaddleWise web sit for the radio discussion archive. I think
the one I got after reading that is the Standard 350s which seems to be
what most people around my area have. I keep it in my vest pocket and
dunk it in the wash barrel along with my other hear when cleaning up
after a saltwater paddle. I've had it for two years and it works fine.
When I bought it it was more expensive, but price may be comparable to
the uniden now, don't know.
