I bought the top dollar Icom M92D at West marine on sale $50 off Plus $10 plus $15 more… and looked at the onboard vhf units. Also looked at the higher grade antennas. Getting that too but low funds today. Not going deep this weekend only jetties Sunday. I wish i was but I am looking forward to slay some sheephead. Any input would be cool(brands, deals , wild story about the time you were really glad to have a vhf)
This is what I put on my boat. Really easy to install and NO messing with the itty bitty wires to the chart plotter.

I think it only cost around $250.00. I paid about as much for the antenna and ratchet mount! When you do get a fixed mount, invest in a top rated antenna!
Looks like a candidate for a 2nd radio/back up GPS. One review say’s that it sounds distorted. Whats your take on that?

I’ve had no problems with it at all. It is a back -up for the GPS in the chartplotter. Like I said, get a top dollar antenna.
