Vhf? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I think any radio in the $100-150 range should serve you well. It's not like technology changes much from brand to brand.

My handheld Vhf is a 10ish year old, $150 west marine labeled radio. I think standard horizon produced it. I don't remember tho, I'd have to go back and look.

It's waterproof and works great. Ive never really needed it much. I chat with my buddy sometimes when we're put together. I also used it to radio the CG a couple months ago when I drained my battery listening to music on a nighttime date, and couldn't fire the engine up (vessel assist doesn't have anyone in the office that late at night). I forgot the battery pack jumper
