Since I mainly solo, my only real concern is wind.  For those who've used these radios, how accurate are they with wind predictions?


Here is a simple test. Set radio on boulder. If it blows off, it's too windy...

Well said, OS!  I think I'll just bring a little wire, tape it to a small stone, and put the stone on a boulder....and then tell my son to check how windy it is.... Grin  Grin  Grin

For what it's worth, here are the contour maps (approximate coverage areas) of the three radio stations I listen to when in Quetico in order to try and get (rarely inaccurate, but often useless - here I definitely agree with Jimbo) weather reports...

I use a small Sangean MS103 radio with a telescoping antenna which is not too bad as long as it is positioned properly.
