I don't know for sure if the hand held flairs only is legal. I bought a kit with the gun and hand held flairs just for safety. now I just replace the flairs every few yrs. my safety is very important out on erie so I like having both.

you can get a good radio with the gps built in for around 220.00 on ebay or amazon. but you have to pay taxes at amazon and most of the time you don't on ebay. I plan on upgrading my old radio to the icom m324c this yr. you can get one that connects to your gps for less money. the Shakespeare 5225 xt is a great antenna, about 110.00 on ebay. I'm using the Shakespeare 5399 now. its a 9'6" antenna and I just love it. I bought mine for 168.00 off ebay. but they cost about 210.00 now on ebay, but they are worth the money. but if your on a tight budget the 5225 xt is a great 8' antenna.
