	I would like to purchase a new marine VHF radio for my sailboat
and would like the advice of someone who might know what to look for
and what to watch-out for when buying. I have heard reports that radios
with mechanical switches for channel selection are prone to contact
corosion and failure. Should I stay away from Liquid Crystal Displays?
What else should be considered?
