216.0. "VHF Radios" by MONTOR::HANNAN (Beyond description...) Tue Sep 22 1992 10:25

	I'm looking for a VHF radio for my boat.  My old one
	died from corrosion.

	Does anyone know anything about VHF radios made by PULSTAR
	or Apelco ?   They are in my price range, but I've never
	heard of these companies.  

	Any recommendations ?

	Thanks
	Ken

216.1Apelco is a good buyTNPUBS::WASIEJKORetired CPOTue Sep 22 1992 15:123
    Apelco is sold thru the BOAT/US catalog.  I've had mine for two years
    of trouble-free air time.  Not a lot of bells & whistles, but it's
    reliable.
216.2icom or skantiMACNAS::MOBOYLETue May 11 1993 22:578
    I reccomend ICOM or SKANTI.
    I worked in the marine electronics trade for 3 years and for
    what its worth you get what you pay for.
    These are paticulary good as you can quite easily set up private
    channels without the fuss of getting crystals.
    
    ICOM 55 or 100 ARE EXCELLENT.
