Radio input needed for yak to yak yakkin', emergency - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Mongo Johnson · 08-20-2012, 07:21 PM

Hey all. Got separated from my buddy the other evening. Hooked up eventually OK as there was still line of sight, but it was a pain.

Can you suggest a good, durable yak-to-yak communicator that can also do Marine emergency use in a pinch?

Durable, waterproof, inexpensive . . . ?

I've no clue here, so input on "what" to buy safety-wise would be a help. Model numbers a help too.

Something like this radio with the extended warranty. Just make sure to save the receipt.

For $20 more and you can get a floating one. As always keep the receipt and the box.
