For sea kayakers, vhf radios offer a lot more value than walkie talkies. Hand-held VHFs give you long battery life. There are rechargeables that are waterproof, but I prefer those that accept double A batteries. But you'd need to buy two. VHFs and walkie talkies are not communications compatable. douglas San Francisco *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
