GME GR200 AM/FM/VHF any good?

Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong spot.
So, I've just about had a gutsfull of the portable ipod speaker jumping all over the boat in any sort of chop and think the hand held radio I have might be insufficient also. Has anyone got the GME all in one AM/FM/VHF radio? It's got the 3.5mm jack for aux input, looks like it would be a goer. As a media player, would be enough for me, but is the VHF radio any good. Certainly a space saver.
Edit: Sorry, read a bit closer, it's only VHF reciever, not transmitter!!!

Yeah,
But its not a VHF transmitter, only receiver. ie: You can't make a VHF call, only listen in.
Not a bad unit for the price, although could do with separate frequency search and volume controls. I have that, and a gx600 VHF paired up in my dinghy, and run them both off a single antenna via a splitter cable. More than adequate for any boat, let alone a dinghy.

I Agree
I have the same set up as Scotto and I find it more than adequate. I plug the iPhone in and all is good if I want to listen to my music.
I cant seem to get the AM working though, have you tried the AM Scotto.
I purchased it as an entertainment pack and got some cheap speakers that work ok as well.
Over the Old Two Stroke noise anything more would be a waste on my boat.
Cheers
