risingsn Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Ok, I guess it is time. I don't think that my old Raytheon is transmitting any more. I have called for a radio check several times & have not had anyone come back.I was just looking @ the Icom M72 & it seems to have some great features.So, what say you? Other suggestions?Thanks,Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shewhorn Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I have the M72 and so far so good. It's a bit skinnier than the M88 which makes it a bit easier to fit into a PFD pocket when compared with some of the other models out there. Battery life seems to be pretty good as well. The speaker drying feature is surprisingly useful as well. Audio is clear and the sucker gets really loud too so there shouldn't be issues hearing it in pounding surf.Cheers, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Fournier Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I just purchaesed one at West Marine for 179.99. They sell them for 199 but they price matched Consumers marine Electronics price for me. Actually Consumers Marine is a great place to order from, comes from NJ and you will get your item in one to two days regular ground shipping cost. consumersmarine.comBradAvocet RM Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
