    What do you guys use? What is a decent unit for a middle of the road price?
    Thanks

    Not good enough in my book. Look for radios certified as “Submersable”.

    I’ve got an old (20 years?)hand held with leather case, works great. Can’t remember the brand…I used it when I was locking thru and wanted to avoid the tow boat traffic. I had a few clear conversations with the lock masters. Yours for 10 bucks plus shipping from 55987 (Winona). P.M. if you’re interested.
