VHF Radio

Hey Guys

I am gonna pick up a VHF radio for this summer, I boat mainly in the 1000 Island region [US and Canadian waters] and wondered if you could offer any input on what to look for [OTHER than price, LOL!] I have no real "brand loyalty" but, would like something with DSC and maybe even AIS, since there are a lot of ships floating around those waters, and some of them [especially the tugboats] aren't lit up real well. Any input would be appreciated, Thanks!

Michael

I'm curious also. Would love some feedback from the experts :)

I'm looking at the Standard Horizon HX850s. VHF, GPS and DSC...

Anyone have any "real world" experience with this one? Or any others they can recommend?
