I am wondering how many people own VHF radios, obviously useful along the coast, for inland rivers and larger lakes. (i.e Hudson River). I assume that limited people are listening inland. The weather feature seems very useful but a very expensive way ($150-$200 avg) to get it versus just a stand-alone weather radio.
At a lower price, perhaps the FRS radios are more practical inland, but again, only as good as someone listening.
My question is from a need for help use, not chit-chat of paddlers in a group.
