VHF Radio for river running.
Hi all,
I am new here and have a new 24 ft SunTracker with a 135 mercury pushing it. We are using it on the Tennessee and have two Locks that are with in a days ride from where we launch.
What I would like to know is if anyone has any advice on a inexpensive hand held VHF radio. We also have bad weather from time to time and it would be nice to know in advance so I get get the big lighting rod off the water.
Thanks for any help.

I think mine is a "cobra" hand held . I am very satisfyed with it. It has 3 watt settings, make sure you go to the lowest setting when you're close to the lock and call from channel 14.

Re: VHF Radio for river running.
We live in the Huntsville area and put in at the Decatur launch. So I am not sure that we are very close. But if we are then it would be great to have some company.sHan tn wrote:Just wondering..... what part of TN you from???? im over by crossville. we would like to put our toon on the river and ride but would like to go out and tag along behing sombody that knows the riverRBickfordjr wrote:Hi all,
