In Reply to: VHF Radio, Good Deal? posted by KJ
: Is this a good deal for a Standard Horizon HX350S @ $184.95. Has anyone delt with Starmarine before? And would west marine match this?Here is the linkhttp://www.starmarinedepot.com/detail.asp?product_id=SH1103&p=Standard+Horizon+Portable+VHF+HX350SI am looking to get a VHF radio and I am considering this one or the cheap reconditioned uniden Atlanis for $82.50 (plus a water proof bag).Is it worth the extra money for the Standard Horizon versus a uniden in a bag?
I haven't researched prices on those for a while, but that use to be a killer deal. And yes, West Marine will match the price. I have the HX350 and have been very happy with it. The Atlantis isn't "submersible", the HX350 is. It was important to me that the VHF be rated "submersible" and not just "water proof". It also comes with a 3 year warranty (no need to purchase an extended from West Marine).
