Story man Theres a secondhand Floating, submersible, 5 watt Icom M33 for sale on adverts. They're a quality set and its in Crosshaven. Asking 140 EURO. I have an old Icom fixed set you can borrow to get ya going if you are putting it in a boat. There's also an old Sailor set in the shed, complete with Telephone receiver mic, retro chic or wha ??

The Sailors are regarded as the Rolls Royce of VHF's.

They are indeed. Solid, reliable set. About the size of a rolls royce too I have a lovely grey finished one but its 24v. Considering getting a power supply to put it going as a homebase set.

I bought a Cobra off CH Marine 2 years ago, no complaints.

Im on my third Cobra at the moment with no complaints at all, also had an old one replaced a few years ago completley free of charge something to do with not been upto comreg standards or something like that even though the radio worked perfect :?i have also had a silva nice radio but much more complicated to use and an older icom. for simplicity it's cobra all the way The other plus is that Cobra europe are based in Dunlaoghaire south Dublin
