Also, keep in mind that you will hear (Receive) chatter from all over the Lake on your handheld, but you will not (in most cases) be able to transmit back due to the distance/ power limitations of the handheld.

I have a 4' Shakespeare mounted on a 26' bow rider (i.e. not high up on an arch or anything) & have absolutely no problems xmitting/receiving across 90% of the Lake. We routinely talk from Meredith or Center Harbor with my daughter in WAM. The sometimes sketchy distance would be Center Harbor to the Alton Public docks area. Mount Major gets in the way for that !
