    2 way radio suggestions

    Im interested to know what guys are using and recommend as good quality 2 way radios for hunting ?
    Have had a set of Cobra 4100s for a number of years and reception was reasonable ... but they had a useless on / off / volume button that always turned itself on while in day pack etc ( even with PVC tape over it ) and batteries went flat quickly !!! Also kept turning volume up or down when in use.
    Now one of my set has been wet and doesn't work any more.

    So looking for advice from users of 2 or 3 watt ( balance between power and battery use ) sets that are reasonably waterproof ... or at least shower and perspiration proof.
    Re-chargable but also able to use standard batteries.
    Moderate size and easy to see controls etc.
    2 handset wanted but would like to be able to add another one or two that are compatible.

    Thoughts and field experience with various locally available models appreciated.
