[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]The Lowrance VHF radio should do you a good job. It will network nicely with other Lowrance products also. This means your radio can transmit your GPS co-ordinates when you have an emergency. This doesn't do you much good on smaller waters but on the Gorge and on Powell, it could be a lifesaver.[/size][/black][/font]
