Radio ideas, need imput from members

[episnoza]

Looking for suggestions on the cheapest radio that will work on the Lake. Is a 6 watt handheld unit enough?? We only get to Lake Erie less than half a dozen times each summer. I always use this site to decide where we are going, usually out of meinke's or Catawba. I have been wanting to get a radio for a while but haven't committed to spending the money. If I get one, I will definitely let people know if we get in to fish. Any ideas?

Oh and to help the next guy out, I always try to do a follow up post on how the day went.

Watch for sales on radios.Don't know what your boat is, you would be better off looking for reg. radio setup. Longer range for transmitting and recieving. $ about the same if you shop right.

Sounds good to me, I will have one radio on ch84. going to need all the help with the price of gas. All the talk about fishing I want to get the boat out and do some fishing! I think I am going to run up to the lake today and see what is going on, hope the docks are stating to go in.
