the leash itself not my idea but making and installing it on the radio, well
it was from "flipped by a whale" post earlier, his radio floated away rendering him pretty much helpless except to swim for it, I decided I would make up the leash for precaution...b BTW sewer butts on saturday the 5th if you are available...b |

![]() ![]() Lots of harbor patrol guys and marine professionals use that setup and it's pretty bullet proof. It's funny but I just a minute ago bought a backup set. I went on ebay to look at prices for the m88 and bought a used working model with mic that was just closing for 72 bucks... ![]() You can't go wrong with ICOM, most popular marine radios in So. Cal. almost all the skiff guys use them. Jim |

Yeah.... I just lucked out. The mic alone cost more then that.
It was right there closing in a few minutes when I ran the ebay search. I got a feeling he doesn't have the charger (not mentioned or in the picture) but since I already have one it's no big deal on my end. Jim |

I found a better price at defender i hope west marine price matche at the Marina Del Rey store. Here are the three radios... I am leaning towards the m34 for $154.00 IPX7 float & waterproof, my co worker who has a boat said icom you are paying for the brand name and to get the standard horizon one hx 751IPX7 float & water proof. The m72 is IPX8. Looks like all the yakers seem to like the ICOM, so ill buy one on Friday. Thank you all for your comments and suggestions!

Jim,
I saw the auction and i was seriously going to consider it until i read that it doesn't float, i went to westmarine and got the float waterproof radio with their warranty. Now my radio will be protected for 4 years. I would rather have a warranty on electronics especially if i'm spending 100 dollars or more on it and 4 years is peace of mind. Now when i am out fishing , i could call out Jim day lead me to some clean waters. Lol Last edited by wiredantz; 01-26-2011 at 08:53 PM. |
