 very good radio August 26, 2009

Good radio, good value. I have used VHF radios for many years and this one is my go to choice.
The only caveat is the charger base. The connection into the base is not well protected and I have broken one of them off previously. I wish you could plug directly into the unit, but that would challenge the waterproof aspect I guess.
 Very Satisfied. August 1, 2008

A great little radio for the price. I have always been happy with the Humminbird, and this radio is no exception.

So far so great. I've used the radio stations and weather alerts, but not the emergency band. Hope I'll never need it.
Feels durable and I love the charger. It holds a very nice charge.

I keep this on board my Boston Whaler in case of an emergency. I don't go too far from out so I do't need a very long range radio. Hope I never have to use it, but it adds a feeling of security.
