Wow!!! That sounds like a cool unit!!

A 'Rhino-toting' buddy of mine tried to convince me to buy one, but I already have FRS radios, and haven't wanted a GPS too badly.

If it were combined with VHF, and would pinpoint other users (as the Rhino FRS does), I'd want to check it out!!

Didn't Lee Gardner suggest one of these about two years ago?!

Will be interesting to see the cost. I'll bet $5 the first one out isn't under $250 and submersible.
