You can have the world's smallest VHF but it is not much good if you cannot operate it with frozen fingers because the controls are too small... Beware of radios which are brilliant examples of miniaturized technology, but are not made for the real world of saltwater in storm conditions... which is when you REALLY want a radio that you can operate without drama. And remember, all radios are NOT WATERPROOF, whatever their rating.. treat as you would any piece of electrical equipment around saltwater...and keep it in a drybag..
