I'll ask her if she can send a confirmation email. They have not done this in the past for me... but Stephanie might.I'm beginning to think that Stephanie doesn't like me... I resent the updated doc and even included the copy of my CC that they requested. Just patiently waiting, dreaming of rum drinks at the dock.
Here is a review of that radio http://marine-electronics-reviews.com/cobra-hh125.html .another alternative... for short distance communication

If you add another item or buy two radios you can use the $8.63 off $50 code "BIGTHANKS" that @Ramblin Wreck posted in another thread.For anyone looking for handheld VHF radios Amazon has a sale on the Uniden Atlantis 150 for $48. Used ones are available for $40 on EBay. My family has a pair of the similar but discontinued MHS-50 radios which have made it to Bimini and back three times. These small 2.5 watt radios are not primary radios to use on your boat for the crossing but are great for communication on shore. We clip them to our backpacks when walking around Bimini and leave them on in the charger in the condo. They come with a caribener and have a nice loop for it at the top of the radio. For the crossing I clip one to each of my crew.
I have found that I need to replace the rechargeable battery packs for each trip but they are less than $5 per pack on Amazon or EBay.
got spare time?? lolI took some time today to add everyone who has listed their unit # to the property map. Now we can all see who our neighbors are.
I'll be happy to keep the map updated as we add more groups.
Please ask Omar to tell Bimini Sands he is part of our group so he can get the discount.Also, Omar from 2015 is joining us.
He said he has booked already.
