Re: Radio advice - newbie

     I forgot to add that I prefer to buy the smallest radio I can find and
then wear it around my neck on a light lanyard.  I never have to fumble for
my radio and it is never adrift in the cockpit.  (nothing more fun than a
radio or a drink bottle down around your rudder peddles)
     For the record, I now use a Vertex Pro V, but I think that Icom makes a
comparable unit.
