This came at the perfect time for me. Looking at the standard horizons HX 890 or ICOM IC-M93D models since they have gps and I can send a distress beacon at the touch of a button & coast guard can find my cold corps clinging onto my (expensive for me) real

Anyone have a recommendation? The icon is made in japan, but only has a max of 5w, the SH has a max of 6w, but is china made. Has anyone used these in real life? Or has a better option?
Thanks guys
