Good prices as well. They seemed to be my go to place for electronic devices. I've bought my GPS, a fishfinder and my VHF radio from them as they had the best prices everytime I was shopping. I've got a Uniden VHF handheld (I think it's this model) and so for so good but haven't used it that much. I did also take the course and got my licence this spring. I'd consider a unit with the DSC system on it as well and hook it up with your gps if you have one on board as Mr JR suggested. For bang for your dollar you might be better with a fixed mount if you have the room for it.
