3.0 out of 5 stars Cheap, but low transmit power., April 2, 2007

By	R. Gage - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This VHF is less expensive than others, but I have noticed that it's receive and transmit capabilities do not match those of the VHF's my friends take out.
I know it says 5 watts, but after trying to hail a nearby village I realized that this VHF would not reach while another would.
I would recommend the Atlantis model that is about half the size of this one, not sure of the model number, but it looks similar to this one, just smaller.

5.0 out of 5 stars Uniden Atlantis 250Bk, November 30, 2008

By	D. Farney (Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought one of these for everyday use in the Everglades, and have had no problem with it, it has even been subject to my waterproof and drop tests (been submerged in marsh water and rained on multiple times dropped on cement, gravel, in sand, and mud.) and have had no transmitting or recieving problems. Unfortunately, if you drop it on cement from 8 feet just the right way you can crack the threaded part that the antenna attaches to. I have transmitted and recieved as far as 8 miles with this radio. My line of sight is open and there is no electronic interference where I am, so individual results may vary. Even though I broke mine im buying another, and than I will have a spare battery. For the price, not a bad deal.

1.0 out of 5 stars Where is the battery charger., March 24, 2008

By	James A. Donald (Sunnyvale, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This device has a special custom battery. Unfortunately, mine did not come with a special custom battery charger, which makes it rather useless when the battery runs out.
