I got this one, it's 6w , waterproof, floats , does everything you need it too... you buy cheap, you pay twice, this is a good middle ground one- not too cheap, but not as expensive as some of the ones with blutooth and such

and did the SRC course with this lot... really felt competent and happy to set to sea with it once I'd done it.

I've got the cobra HH 475, on special for €159http://www.marinewebstoreireland.com/ . When i first got it i had a problem with the blue tooth but one email to cobra and they sent another radio. since that I cant fault it and the Bluetooth function is very handy. Mine takes a fair share of abuse on the kayak but is serving me well.

The standard horizon 851e was the order of choice for this one, with all of the features of others, but with a waypoint directory, to store all notable marks, coupled with the gps, it has proved invaluable in getting a bearing in low visibility.....
