Marine VHF Radio for Truck
I am going to be providing shore monitoring for a kayak trip and will be
using a VHF radio from my pickup. I am thinking of installing a unit rather than using a handheld. I took a look at what there is available and it seems like the prices start at just over $100 for the unit itself running up to $500 for a fancy unit that is mounted somewhere hidden and all the controls in a hand held mic. Other than the obvious features like the remote mic unit, what should I look for in getting a quality unit that will work the best without breaking the bank. I don't want to pay $500, but I will pay $200 or more if there is a useful difference with the ~$100 units. I doubt I'll be mounting this in a boat although that is a possibility someday, I do have a ski boat. But more likely is that I'll mount it at my house on a lake to provide some amount of emergency monitoring. So I expect to mount it in the pickup so it can be easily removed and brought into the house. I guess that means a second antenna too. Words of advice? -- Rick |
