Just bought a new VHF Standard Horizon HX460s. My ICOM similarly stopped
charging. This new radio is much smaller and fits easily into my waterproof
fanny pack {Sealpak from REI}. It is submersible and has a lithium ion
battery. The guy at West Marine said this was the best and it certainly was
the smallest. Seemed worth it after getting picked up by a sailboat at
Crissy the other day after a u joint failure. (ICOM battery was dead) :)
