Will, SH engineering did not jump ship and go to Uniden. The VP of marketing did, after he spent a year with a wholesaler. However, Uniden has improved their VHF designs and has gotten away from the cheap, low cost, throwaway products they used to make. The key is the warranty and waterproof specs.
In my opinion, Standand and Icom radios are still the top of the line.
