My wife insists that I carry it when I go out, I can't complain, I like listening to boat traffic when I'm solo.

This model connects to my phone via Bluetooth, as well. I can connect my phone and FF to it, pretty cool to listen to tunes on a long paddle.

Thanks mclanea!
I just read the reviews and this one seems like a winner! The Bluetooth feature seems like it will be great to have.

I read the reviews and they were all positive except for a few from people using them on boats who said the speaker wasn't loud enough. That won't be an issue on the kayak. I just ordered it and it will be here Tuesday and just in time to go fishing on wednesday.

The one thing it doesn't mention is what type of charger/s it comes with. I've noticed that some come only with a cigarette lighter plug and some come with a standard wall plug. Can you tell me what type of charger ships with this VHF?

It's loud enough for me, I usually only have it up at like 30% when I'm fishing solo. I like to listen to harbor traffic while I'm out alone.

It has a standard wall plug. It has a stand, I just keep it set up in my garage to recharge. But you can skip the stand and just plug it in if you want. Battery life is crazy long... accidentally left it on overnight a few times and still had a lot of charge.
