This is an exelent product and is one of the few items I have purchased recently that actually exceads my expectations.Not only does it perform as promised but it comes complete with all the accesories that it is advertised with.

This radio does what you need - not what you don't. The reception is good and sounds good. The calls I have placed were received "Loud and Clear". It is compact and comes with any accessory (rechargeable battery and two chargers, waterproof bag, bracket, clip) that you could want. It also runs on AA cells if your rechargeable runs down.

It does not have Digital Selective Calling which is not something I care about. It is not waterproof outside of its bag - also not a concern to me the way I use it.

I am a 25 year boatowner and I think the radio is great.

The only reason I even gave it one star was that it did turn on. The battery lasts about 1 hour fully charged, which is just sad. I could not communicate with a vessel that was 1 mile from me, which again is sad. Spend a little more money and get a better product.

My husband loves sailing, & I know he has reliable equipment on board with this radio. It's small but very sturdy, the reception is excellent. & the battery lasts a long time between charges.

This was a great deal on a full 5 watt handheld VHF radio. Doesn't look so rugged, but for my use, it's great. Came with all the accessories to use in any situation. Only problem is that every once in a while, the channel gets stuck on 16 and I have to reset the radio. Unfortunately, it happens so rarely I can't usually remember the reset process. Again, the best price on a handheld you'll find.
