Very good but a couple of drawbacks OK, this thing actually works pretty good. Easy to use, holds a battery charge for a long time. Very functional. I would consider it more “water resistant” than the advertised, “waterproof”. Overall, very good and a good buy.
Not for tug boat captains If you are a tugboat captain, this unit is probably not for you. If you are a cheap bastard like me and you want an extra level of safety on your day sailer, than this unit will suit you fine. First of all don’t be a moron, this VHF is not waterproof. I doubt it is even splash proof. Salt water destroys everything over time, especially electronics. Buy a water proof case for 15 bucks. If this $48 dollar device is gonna save your life, it better work when you turn it on. The case allows…
Good for emergency and light use. I got this for my PWC (jet ski) as I’m on the great lakes and off-shore. For the price I found this radio to be perfect for basic communications with my other boating friends as well as piece of mind for emergency use.
