Just received my new Icom M1-V -- looks like a terrific unit. After perusing the manual several times, fighting off the urge to just go to sleep <grin>, I still have a few questions. Is the scanning function of any practical use? If so, what USA channels should be included? And which type of scan (priority or normal) is best? What about the weather alert and self check? Is there a way to get rid of the channel comments, or best to leave them alone? Any suggestions about dual and tri-watch? Finally, lacking radio-equipped kayaking buddies, what's the best way to test and practice? Many thanks! merlin BTW, I purchased it via the Net from Bethel Marine in Melbourne, FL for $182 plus shipping. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
