Which one should I buy? I want good value for the money(of course). I mostly will be on lakes and the Gulf Coast down by FLA, AL and MS. I want to stay close to shore as my present boat is only a 17' Starcraft center console Mariner 170. I know zip about boating comm. Although as a former military aviator/pilot and later aircraft owner, I am familiar with Nav and Comm systems. I would like something that has the GPS ELT type locator ability and possibly the optional ability for some other mapping or auxillary electronics integrated with it, maybe a visual mapping system. At this point, maybe the the first radio will be fine for my limited uses.

How do you switch from the one side of the screen to another (Smrad cruise). Regards Jovan
I'm sorry, but I don't understand your question. Can you give me more details about what you are trying to do? Thanks.
