This radio is built like a tank. Its waterproof IPX4 rating ensures that it can handle the harshest marine conditions without breaking a sweat. Whether we're out in the open sea or encountering heavy rain, this radio has never let us down. Dependability is crucial when you're out on the water, and the UM385 has proven time and again that it can handle whatever Mother Nature throws its way.
The Triple Watch feature is fantastic. It allows us to monitor the Coast Guard channel while also keeping an ear out for any other important communications. This added level of safety gives us peace of mind, knowing that we won't miss a critical message.
The DSC (Digital Selective Calling) feature is a lifesaver. In case of emergencies, it allows us to send out distress signals with just a few button presses. The reassurance that we can call for help when needed is priceless.
One of the standout features is the NOAA Weather Alert functionality. Being able to receive up-to-date weather information and alerts directly on the radio is incredibly valuable. It helps us plan our trips better and avoid potentially dangerous weather conditions.
The wide range of supported channels, including all USA, international, and Canadian marine channels, is a huge plus. We can easily communicate with other vessels, marinas, and coastguards no matter where we are.
The Memory Channel Scan feature is a time-saver. We can program our frequently used channels, making it effortless to switch between them quickly. It's a small convenience that makes a big difference in our overall experience.
The Uniden UM385 25 Watt Fixed Mount Marine VHF Radio is a dependable, feature-rich radio that has greatly enhanced our boating adventures. Its rugged construction, Triple Watch, DSC, NOAA Weather Alert, and memory channel scan features make it a top-notch choice for any boater. We couldn't be happier with its performance, and we highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable marine VHF radio. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
They transmit clearly, are pretty loud when volume is cranked all the way up. The multi channel scan feature is very nice if you only have one radio and want to listen to multiple stations. If you through dash mount it (like I did) make sure you buy the mounting push brackets for it which are sold seperately. Overall a decent VHF for the price.
