My husband and I paddle frequently in local lagoons and bays. I tend to meander along the shore examining the flora and fauna, he likes to get a move on. We try to stay in touch via walkie talkie. We have yet to find one with a battery that lasted more than four or five hours. Any suggestions? -- Marcia Tauber You might consider an Icom this unit is also water reistant. Here is the review: http://members.tripod.com/~jwilkers/icom.html You could get a VHF unit that will have a longer range and be fully water proof, it will cost considerablely more. I like my Standard Horizon. I am not sure they like social discussions on VHF so a 2 way may be the way to go. -- MZ *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
