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

Been very happy with this one. I’ve had it for around 5 years now with no problems

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

I don't like stuff that sucks.

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.
