Possible good deal for radio w/DSC, floats, versatile batts - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Uniden handheld, floats, DSC and versatile batts. Can boost to 6w.

West Marine is selling it for 139 (was in 160s on Amazon). May be "last year's model."

Seemed less $ than that most DSC units and not much more than decent non-DSC unit.

Has only one receiver so some complaints about it cutting out when cycling/scanning but can be tweaked via unit menus. (Notable reviews on Amazon.) Is said not to impact key uses.

There's also nice compact Standard Horizon at the online store here at BWE store.
