West Marine VHF radio on sale

Just picked one up at the Richmond store. Looked like a decent deal, floating and submersible IPX8 rating.

I have three of West Martine's radios.  Only one has failed, and they replaced it.  If it goes in the drink, like one of mine did, it floats.  I didn't  realize it was gone, but another NCKA member picked it up and found me.  IT took a couple of weeks after a rinse of fresh water for the speaker to get completely dry and functional again.   Good luck with yours.
