Uniden MHS350 Handheld VHS

[Captain Smollett]

I'm thinking about buying a handheld VHS and am eyeballing the Uniden MHS350.  Does anyone have pro/con experience with this model?

I'm also considering the Uniden Mystic Combined Handheld GPS & VHS.  I like the idea of one piece of gear to do both.  The GPS is 'mapping' and has 32 MB memory.  The nautical chart CD is a bit pricey, though (I'm not really into electronic charting on board and would not spend the money on a mapping GPS, but the combined VHS/GPS nature of this model is intriguing).  (Note also that this listing on Boatersland.com is OVER $100 cheaper than WM :o )

Which models Handheld VHS and/or GPS come recommended by the SailFar crew?

Avoid the west marine 100.  I can post the exact model number later if you need it.

It is a good unit.... except that the scan function breaks up recieve on whatever channel you are on whenever it scans....
