Ok, got you covered for the radio also. I bought a bunch of CB radios on eBay a while back and one of them turned out to be a Marine VHF. Near as I can tell it works fine, I can hear traffic with it. Haven't tried transmitting for a radio check, but that's easy enough. If it works that's yours also. One less thing hanging around.

Great!! Thanks!!
