April 21, 2011Perfect for back-up or safety,
This is a great little portable radio. I’ve seen reviews complaining there is no squelch knob; there isn’t a knob, per se, but one push on a side button allows you to increase or decrease the squelch with the up/down “arrow” buttons… you can actually work the squelch with one hand. I bought this radio for safety and traffic alerts while on my small boat, plus the 6-watt output was a nice issue although my opinion of the higher wattage is to make up for a decrease in antenna size. The radio tucks nicely into my float-coat inner pocket and used with the waterproof speaker/mic clipped to the collar I’ve got good reception; for transmitting I hand-hold the radio on my knee and use the extension microphone that’s clipped to my collar. The scanning is quick but not quite as sensitive as I’d like… sometimes an active channel is skipped but it may be due to my squelch setting. Since this is a portable unit with relatively low power I squelch out more distant traffic, which I get a lot of being close to Seattle. All told, this is a really nice unit and I recommend it to anyone looking for an additional radio. (I haven’t float tested it yet–hope not to– but it’s been in heavy enough rains that I really appreciate the water-tight integrity.)

April 21, 2011Very useful,
We now have 2 of these marine radios. They work very well and are easy to use and set up. We had to buy a separate “float” bag, however, because we were afraid the radio might fall out of our sailboat and sink. It does not float by itself–something you need to consider when using it.
