I just got this VHF Radio. I have a fixed mount unit in my bigger boat and my test showed with line of sight transmission it goes about 5 miles very well and then starts to drop off because the antenna on this handheld radio will limit your distance. I set it up to connect to my long VHF antenna in the big boat and tested it out to 7 miles with a friends boat that had a fixed mount VHF radio. At that point it started to get a weak signal. This is a very good radio with good battery life, all during my testing at 5 watts (about 3 hours almost full time) the battery was still showing fully charged. This is a good product for the money. I plan on using it as a back up unit to hail nearby boats in case of emergency. You can spend a lot more on better radios, but this one fit my needs well.

Great buy for any serious boater!
