Amazon.com Product Description
The ergonomically designed Hummingbird VHF55s Plus Hand-held Radio provides a complete mobile marine communications solution with the security of a rugged, submersible design that can withstand the harshest of environments. If you are traveling from boat to boat, or simply don't want to hassle with installation of a more expensive radio solution, then this unit is the perfect companion for any safety-conscious recreational mariner.

The VHF55s Plus is constructed with an ergonomic, non-slip rubberized grip, and is submersible to the JIS-7 standard for maximum durability. This unit is built with a large, high-visibility LCD display, and includes all USA, International, and Canadian Marine channels, as well as 10 weather channels with NOAA weather alerts. The VHF55s Plus is powered by a rechargeable NiMH battery, and comes with a 12-volt DC cradle charger with AC and DC power adapters, as well as a back-up alkaline battery pack. This hand-held radio allows you to select between five- or one-watt transmit power levels, depending on whether you need to save battery power or achieve a greater range, and includes rotary squelch and volume for fast, accurate tuning.

The VHF55s Plus features a fast access channel 16/9 hot key, dual and tri-watch monitor for critical channels, and a backlight for both the display and keys for nighttime operation. This radio also features a signal-strength meter that indicates transmit and receive signal, and a battery-level indicator that shows you your remaining power. This compact unit even has allows normal scan to watch all channels, program scan to watch all memory channels, and a priority scan on 16 critical channels. As a convenience feature, the VHF55s also includes automatic power-saving circuitry to preserve your battery life, and a key-lock that prevents accidental setting changes. The VHF55s Plus comes with the manufacturer's three-year limited warranty.

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.

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.
