A friend of mine has the small white handheld by cobra they sell up here.
It seems to work great. Not sure what other options there are though.

Friend with a new inshore fishing boat wants to buy a handheld VHF radio.
I don't follow VHF radio technology at all, so I don't know what's really
good in the latest units.

Any recommendations as to makes and models?
