... is water proof ? Has DSC & Distress calling. Displays GPS position. Has a large display, easy to read, w/backlit keypad ? And all the other goodies like programmable scan, dual watch, lithium or equivalent battery, and an alkaline battery option.
I'd really like one that is small and light, maybe that's asking too much.
So far, the only ones I can find that have most if not all these features is the Standard Horizon HX851 or the Simrad HH33. They don't look so small & light.
We'll be using it for every day use, and especially for safety at night during passage attached to the PFD ... which is why I want the Gucci features.
Does anyone have the Simrad and can comment ? Any other suggestions ?
Thanks, cheers, John
