- Reviewed in Canada on April 24, 2025Verified PurchaseI would give the unit itself 5 stars, but I give 4 stars to the complete package itself. Very strange that there is no wall bracket, only a belt bracket. Also, it only has a cigarette lighter charger instead of including a 110v charger. Seems like an obvious oversight. I purchased a cigarette lighter to 110v adapter on amazon for around $20. A generic bracket for the wall can also be purchased on 鶹. Once again, the unit itself is superb.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best handheld VHF radios I have seen
Verified PurchaseLove this little radio. Battery life is fantastic, brings in signals other radios do not, knobs to set squelch and volume.
#1 drawback is radio does not float (nor does it claim to). Don't drop it overboard! #2 drawback - radio only comes with 12V charger (plugs into cigarette lighter port). Bought a 12V power supply with cigarette port that plugs into normal 120V AC socket. The power supply can also power my 12V air compressors from house outlet instead of having to start car.
Had the radio on for two days of cruising with 18 other sailboats, and had to communicate with 3 bridge tenders (twice each). Battery still showed 50% at the end of 2 days without any recharging. Outstanding battery life for a handheld radio.
Reception was clear, loud, and completely understandable. Everybody I talked to heard us fine on the 1W setting, never went to higher transmit power.
