bouttime Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 looking to buy a new vhf-are any of the hand held models worth the purchase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulywood Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I think that you can get a decent fixed mount and antennae for less than what a top of the line handheld costs. I have $150 into my radio/antennae and have up to a 20 mile range. I have never seen a handheld that could match that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWheeler Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I bought a raymarine unit for $100 shipped to my door. Check out Bethel Marine Electronics out of FL. They are usually running some kind of specials.Here's the linkhttp://www.bethel-marine.com/html/specials.htmlDoesn't look like they are on special anymore, but it might be worth a call. Mention something about the RM 49 that was on special for $95 and maybe they'll talk turkey with you. It's a real nice unit. It can hook right up to your GPS and has all sorts of functions that I don't even know how to use yet. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
