The microphone is a cool shape an a lot of customers like how well machined and heavy it feels in your hands. in particular they like the nub on the back that slides into the retainer to hold the mic.what is of nice metal work. What they like about the radio is the robustness of the buttons and the wheels. They are big yo you donot need to search araound or umping into other dials and they push and click very firmly.
Also the size and function of the buttons one is smaller and is only for volume and squelch. Twist it right away and you are adjusting volume,. Press it in you are adjusting squelch. The right button is noticeable bigger and you can twist it to change or choose menu items and press it in to get to the main menu speaker volume is surprising when you are anchored you can never go higher than 4 without it being too loud.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT VHF RADIO TELEPHONE ANTENNA

The antenna is a very important part of the VHF Radio Telephone. Yachts and motor boats often use a stainless steel antenna, which is stable and does not immediately break down when you bumpts to something under a bridge. Do you have a sailboat? Then a fiber antenna is the best choice. View our range of Antennas here.
