What waterproof VHF radio do you like best for carrying on your PFD? If you
carry it other than on your PFD, what is your system and choice of radios?

 

What general discussion do you have regarding VHF radios?

 

It is pretty easy these days to get boaters to carry cell phones, even
though their use is discouraged by authorities. Who has experience with
waterproof cell phones?

 

At least some parts of the Pacific Coast have a specific system for cell
phone calls by marine traffic. What is that?

 

On inland waters, lakes, rivers etc, are cell phones or VHF radios equally
effective?

 

Thanks,

Chuck Sutherland
