My radio has called it quits.  Any recommendations on a good model (small, water resistant/proof, reliable)? - Thanks

Can’t go wrong with SH. This is the one I have, but it looks like the don’t make this exact model anymore.

Another vote for Standard Horizon, although their chargers are crappy, but the radios are solid.

Thanks for all the advice everyone.  I'm definitely going with SH, maybe the HX870 or 890 model.
