In the near futur I'm looking to buy a VHF radio but I have no clue what I'm looking for. I'm sure that a handheld would be more practical but would a mounted radio be better? I'm not looking to put an antenna on my boat either.

I'm looking to use it for weather and to talk to the salmon guys when I go to lake Ontario.

Price range 100$ to 150$.

Any recommendations ? What should I be looking for when comparing radios?
