The best fixed VHF for your money is a Cobra MRF55EU DSC unit for all of €110.00 here

A good few of us on here have them well tried and tested with absolutely no complaints Do a search on here we have covered interfacing one to a gps/plotter more than once for to get the DSC function operational too

does this unit come with antenna or is there a preferred one you guys use sorry for asking mobile phone was all i used use but will be fishing under cliffs on clare coast c

[Mohawk]

No you will need to buy an antenna separately

Something like this one will do you fine

You will probably also need an antenna mount for that antenna something like this :
