I'm thinking of getting a handheld radio for my boat. I would have preferred a mounted CB but space on board is fairly limited. I'm currently running a Campion Center Console and my dash is maxed for other electronics (GPS and Sounder). The sides of the console would be near to impossible to mount to also, as one side has the travel rod holders and cup holder, and the other side has the extinguisher and cup holder. These already get in the way when walking forward and aft.
I generally fish in Sooke (Pedder to Otter, depending on the weather) but have been known to frequent Renfrew, Alberni, Barkley Sound and the Oceanside areas.
Does anyone have any preferances on what would be compatible to a mounted CB in order to talk to my buddies while out there? And what about your dislikes, especially on the portables where battery life and range may be an issue.
Thanks to anyone that can provide a bit of info.
Thanks,
