Radio Deal- Horizon HX760

I've been on the hunt for a radio...found this one. Tried to find reviews or problems online and it seems to check out...maybe a close out model??? Pricing looks GREAT...

hahaha Deamon your such a good guy, lookin out for your fellow BWE members like that.

anyone else use this radio or have any input?? i too have been lookin for a radio but just havent been able to pull the trigger cause of costs but this seems worth it and is basically within my price range.

What about the headset is it water resistant and does it float? I cant seem to find any info. Standard Horizon. Does have some good customer service.

i know you provided a review but what seems like icing on the cake to you is that the list price is $633.31 but it's "on sale" now for $111.99 (+ shipping). The amazon price is HIGHLY inflated. Just a thought.

I got one too. Three year warranty, one year for the battery. I'm thinking it was an upper edge model that didn't sell well and now closed out...
That list price is Standard Horizon, not Amazon's...

Nothin' like catching a good deal.Right before the tuna started biting I bought 2 - 2 day trips on the Legend for $398 ($199 ea) thats more than half off.Totally stoked on that one.

what is the normal distance you can use the radio with the 6watts??? the last few times i been going out on my own and think saftey is more important then how big of the fish i would catch.. I know nothing of radios and reading about them with all the spec's i realy dont understand much about them. Why one would sale for $400 and the other for 100 for the same company and the spec's sound almost the same..
