I picked up this radio "rebranded" by a marine retailer.

I've found it works very well. I was also able to connect a handheld GPS to it with very little effort.

The power selection feature is nice for not blowing away anyone near you. The DSC feature is nice for getting the location of family members in others boats.

I really like the one touch "distress" feature, although I've never used it. When connected to a GPS, it will send your location to the Coast Guard. Good for me since my wife doesn't speak english.

I have nothing negative to report other than the mic cannot be removed. However, there is a remote mic available separately.

I would like to include instructions for connecting a serial connector to the included accesory cable (for the GPS) but amazon doesn't allow this. Maybe you can "search" for it.

Very nice radio that works as advertised, I love the all scan feature, 16/9 button and WX reception and alert feature. This was the best price I could find on the net with fast shipping.

All I can say is this is probably the best value for a DSC unit. It works great, and is very well made. It has a large, clear display and plenty of volume. Adding a flush mount kit will make it look like a professional installation in your console. If you want a radio that is simple to use and has all the safety features, I don't think you can beat the price!

Nice compact unit. Comes with easy to use instructions. This is a lot of radio for the money. The scan all channels feature keeps you aware of what's going on around you. Waterproofing allows exposure to the elements. Large LCD display can be seen form a distance, even in bright sunlight. I can find no faults.

I installed this radio in a remote area in Fiji as part of a Peace Corps house that my son lives in. It is powered by a car battery that is recharged by a thin film solar array. It draws little power and covers a good portion of the east end of Vanua Levu.

This is the 4th or 5th radio we have purchased. Needless to say we like this radio. They work great and the delivery of each one was excellent. Thanks for the fast and good service

I bought this radio as a safety feature on my boat to be used while fishing off the Oregon coast. I have been out as far as 16 miles and have had excellent reception so I'm very satisfied. Price was good and radio size fit perfect in the position I choose.

I installed a Uniden Solara DSC in my sailboat in June 2006 for cruising in Galveston Bay. We have used it for 3.5 years now and it has always worked well, transmitting over 25 miles with a shakespeare antenna mounted 30' above the waterline. I highly recommend this radio for anyone desiring a well built VHF radio. Next, we are connecting the Garmin GPSMap 76 to it for position data. No reservations recommending this radio. We are not replacing it in the near future.

This radio is super. Durable, easy to install. I bought it for a one time use, but I'm keeping it for my new boat purchase.

Great product at a great price.. A must for any real boater that keps up on weather and other Marine communications.
