Re: vhf radio
Standard Horizon might be worth a look, they are reasonably priced and do what you need.

Re: vhf radio
iCom radios are very reliable.
Many makes/units now have built in GPS.

Re: vhf radio
Beware that if the radio is DSC (sends your position from GPS as part of the call when the red emergency button is pressed), you will need a MMSI number to unlock it. For this you need a radio operators licence (course) and ships radio licence for the boat (€100 plus radio licence above). I have an international operators licence and 40+ yrs experience of VHF, but need an Irish certificate (money) to get my ships licence. I wouldn't suggest doing it (probably illegal) but saying your boat is a tender to a mates bigger boat is a way round it.
