Howdy:

I'm looking for an emergency radio to cover the marine, aviation and 2
meter ham bands. The Yaesu VXA-700 looks good as it covers the ham and
aviation bands but I have found no conversion for transmitting on the marine
band---just receive only.

Anyone know of any handheld tranceiver that has the capability of
transmitting and receiving on the three bands modified or otherwise?

OK... OK... yes I know... legal issues... I've been a ham for 40 years,
flying for 30 and sailing aboard ship as a Radio Officer for 20. I'm just
looking for one unit for emergency communications instead of two or three
separate units and associated accessories; batteries, charger...

Best regards
