Customer Review: It's A Winner
Summary: 4 Stars
It'll do all the VHF channels and weather...even has a weather alert. Ours runs all day on a charge and gets plugged in at night. One time we forgot to charge it and slapped the AA batteries in to keep us online. I love the call tones...lets our comrades know who is calling before they answer. Also like the 'lock' feature that prevents accidental setting changes.
For me, the negatives are:
1) It will receive, but not transmit while charging (we overcame this by simply using AA batteries when the rechargeable battery ran low).
2) The set up/menu system is not intuitive - we had to keep the manual handy for a couple weeks.
Would I buy another one? In a heartbeat!
Customer Review: It's ok, but just ok
Summary: 4 Stars
For the price it does a decent job. Not as much range as my old Humminbird handheld and it isn't as loud. Complicated series of button pushes to go dual channel are still causing me problems, but I'll get used to it. The dry bag is nice and you can still use the buttons unlike others I have had. All the rest of the crap you get with it is alright, but I'll never wear a microphone/earphone headpiece while sailing. Rechargeables don't seem to last as long as throw-aways but the DC adaptor solves that problem. Overall it is a good, but basic, radio. If it lasts for 3 years of use it will have been worth the money.Customer Review: good value, menus & handling a bit awkward
Summary: 4 Stars
Have had this for a couple of weeks now & still works great. My expectations were pretty low at the price of $50, but it works as advertised. Even comes with a bunch of accessories. Only thing that needed some getting used to were the menus/the way you navigate through the functions.Customer Review: Radio works great
Summary: 4 Stars
Radio works great, but had to order twice, the belt clip was broken on both of the orders. Had to send back the first, needed the second one desperately, therefore, just kept it and dealt with the faults. Worked something else out.Customer Review: Good value in a VHF Marine Radio
Summary: 4 Stars
Good product although not waterproof as the ad alluded to. They provide a plastic sleeve which makes it "waterproof". Good, crisp audio quality with decent range. For the price, it is a good buy.
