Perfect I need a couple by the 15th for hunting ................ would hate to lose my brother in law on the first day.

Ive got the 520(no electronic compass)same radio.I like mine and it does everything as advertised,The 5 watt is a must though as the radio is the biggest weakness of this unit even with the 5 watt power.
catmando!

Really???? I've always taken a radio. When we hunt we split up, you hear a shot its nice to know if its your buddy and if he needs help. Thats the first I've heard of that.

We carry for safety and now with the GPS built in you always know where your partner is. Another huge safety thing.
