The Skipper once again raises an important (and timely) safety issue....
I just perused the West Marine site, they have a fixed mount VHF transceiver (their brand) with full DSC capability for a sale price of $129.00 !!!
I think I would go ahead and spend the extra for the DSC and hope the MPs can get up to speed on the technology during the lifespan of my new radio....the price right now is definitely right!
