Default decent affordable radios for use on inland lake

Actually, for those folks the license is pretty easy to get since they are a
bonifide marine business that is easy to prove. Beyond that it gets
pretty difficult.

Bzzzzzt Wrong suggestion. Installing a Marine Radio on shore requires

Gee, I didn't know that. Every marina, gas station and boat house I've

has an antenna on it so I ASSumed it was as easy as putting a rig in your
boat. Silly me .... (c:
