Uniden® Atlantis 250 Handheld VHF Radio - White/Gray , this is the model I was thinking about getting just wanted to see if anyone has any knowledge on using handheld VHF radios. Im going to be using it for Kayak fishing, and I have a trip coming up where I will be fishing the islands. I need to know how far you can travel before losing communication with other kayaks or the boat. If anyone knows of a more reliable VHF radio let me know. Thanks

Uniden are good cheap radios. Plan on getting one for a backup.
Not sure how waterproof they are.
There are plastic bags for electronics, To help keep them dry.

Icom has a floating waterproof radio. Not sure the model# off hand
Icom is top of the line.

Line of sight, radio distance should be pretty good.
