just about any good radio will work for you. but don't scrimp on the antenna. a lot of people will spend good money on a radio then spend 49.95 for an antenna. get a good antenna like the Shakespeare 5225 xt you'll be happy you spent the extra money on a good antenna.

would like to have a retractable antenna is that possible?...also thanks for the response I was about to change my handle to black pearl so I could get a response :D:D:D
What he said. The antenna is the key factor. By a cheaper radio and a good 8' antenna. The higher up your antenna is the better your reception. You can use a mount that folds down when not in use.Quote:

I cannot speak about the new ones though but I would imagine they are just as good. I intend to replace my old antenna with this for next spring. If you spring for one get a cap or make one to protect the contact which is in the base.Quote:
