I hate to resurrect this dinosaur, but I just noticed that West Marine is
now selling the ICOM IC-M1, which is a lot smaller than the IC-M15.
Anyone have experience with this model or the Uniden (?) HH940 sailing?
The HH940 is $100 cheaper. Assuming you need a sea-safe anyway
(waterproof, non-submersible), why not go with a cheap cell phone? Seems
like these models make a radio in a fanny pack doable, though.
