One of the best radios available over here is the ICOM MC-32. Good value and waterproof (though I stick it in a dry bag anyway) it is a good basic unit. Most importantly it is entirely push button (ie. no knobs) so can be easily used one handed which is very useful in rough conditions so other hand is on the paddle. Excellent too if used in a dry bag.
