The radio seems to bulky to just have the belt clip on my PFD. I would perfer a radio that i could tie to my PFD or kayak without having to worry about my radio floating away because a boater decided to create huge wakes and have them spash down on my yak.

These radios look great to use if i bring a fishing buddy along, but it doesn't have any emergency channels. |
did you go to the store and actually look at it, or just look at the picture online? google is good for some things, but not all... the radio has a lanyard that you can tie to or wrap around or whatever you want... its just like any other lanyard found on point and shoot cameras and such electronic devices... either get a VHF or don't waste your money... walkie talkies are a JOKE. Icom is the best brand and is very reliable. West marine will hook you up... its a cheap very worth while investment and I wouldn't feel safe on the water with out it...
