4.0 out of 5 stars Rebranded version of the same radio, February 3, 2006

This review is from: Uniden VHF Waterproof Marine Radio (Electronics)

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!
