Looking for radio

[tsubaki]

Looking for another radio to replace my VHF in case I need one or to listen to the weather and seen this one today. Thought it was interesting that it had GPS location also.
Also has a $20 rebate for purchase this year.
Haven't decided yet but the antenna connection looks different than the old type VHF and may require a different antenna also.
Oh and it's digital (if that means something nowadays).
