Great marine handheld radio!
Works great, great reception, sound is great. The battery life is very good as well. It's nice to have when I'm out on the water, just in case.

Solid and Great Reception.
This is a great buy and has great user functionality & safety with the MMSI distress function. Well worth the cost - has held up well to two seasons of Michigan boating 50+ days out of the year. Signal is ALMOST as good as my on-boat West Marine setup with 7’ Shakespeare fiberglass antenna. Great quality at a relatively low price. For those complaining about the price did you not get the memo that BOAT is an acronym for Bust Out Another Thousand?

Works well, nice to have GPS
It is a fine VHF handheld. It's gotten quite soggy in my cockpit & not had any display issues (or any period). The little blinky light came on as if it were swimming. The GPS is nice if you need to give coords while away from a big GPS, plus tracking & Person-in-Water. Battery life is way better than my ancient Raymarine (not saying much!). The menu structure is obtuse, but not worse than any other small-display device. I haven't tested range yet, but close comm was fine.

What more can they possibly add to a handheld VHF!!
Once again, Standard Horizon adds more features to a handheld. I can't speak to the issues people raise with regard to water tightness, but for full features you can not beat this unit. Easy to program-I put in 40 MMSI#s for our fleet through a PC in minutes. The menus are better than the SX870 making it the easiest full-function VHF to use-and it even has a scrambler. I can't imaging another feature I would want on a VHF.

Safety first
I bought this for intercostal waterway use for safety reasons and probably won’t use the navigation features however so far I am very impressed with the battery life and reception range. Easy of was graded okay because it’ll take time to get used to the many features.

Menu structure not intuitive
Not user friendly, buttons and menu structure seems overkill for a simple radio. After 2 years it stopped charging.

Perfect safety device
I keep this radio strapped onto my vest when I go Kayak fishing, have'nt had to use the DSC features of the radio yet. But I certainly feel much safer now knowing I can hit that DSC distress button to send my position to the coast guard and other boats if an emergency ever does come up.
