Hey all,

Selling my marine VHS radio.  I sold my SOT and now focus solely on whitewater kayaking so no need for a radio.

The specs for this radio can be found several places online… in short, this is pretty much the flagship handheld marine VHF used by many NCKA’ers.   Not cheap, but definitely worth the price, and it can save your life.

The radio was never submerged, and always rinsed with fresh water after use.  No corrosion, no salt stains, in like new condition!   It also comes with a waterproof speaker mic which is very handy to clip to your PFD so you don’t have to fumble with the radio itself to talk to your buddies (and risk dropping it into the sea). 

New, the radio and speaker mic are valued at ~ $360. First $250 takes both, plus charger and original manual.  Available in Redwood City or Placerville area, or will ship on your dime.

Post here if you want it!

John

I actually have a second one for my buddy boat but.  I do have a buddy with his own yak and he doesn't have a VHF.  I'll pass the word.
