Review: One of the best handheld VHF radios I have seen - Love this little radio. Battery life is fantastic, brings in signals other radios do not, knobs to set squelch and volume. #1 drawback is radio does not float (nor does it claim to). Don't drop it overboard! #2 drawback - radio only comes with 12V charger (plugs into cigarette lighter port). Bought a 12V power supply with cigarette port that plugs into normal 120V AC socket. The power supply can also power my 12V air compressors from house outlet instead of having to start car. Had the radio on for two days of cruising with 18 other sailboats, and had to communicate with 3 bridge tenders (twice each). Battery still showed 50% at the end of 2 days without any recharging. Outstanding battery life for a handheld radio. Reception was clear, loud, and completely understandable. Everybody I talked to heard us fine on the 1W setting, never went to higher transmit power.
Review: I'm Not Qualified To Review This Product! - Title says it all, I'm not the person you should base your purchase on. That being said I will give my observations and thoughts on this radio. Hardware: Nice. Really nice. This radio is solid and feels great in your hand. It looks great and has logically placed and responsive controls. The display is bright, clear and easy to interpret. The volume and squelch controls are smooth and have a nice solid "click" when turning off the radio. The keypad buttons are labeled, lighted and spaced for effortless use. This is a really nice device regardless of it's intended use. Radio: I live inland. About 60 miles from the US Gulf Coast. There is zero radio traffic on the marine bands where I live. I can not tell you anything about the marine radio on this thing... yet. Later this year I will return to kayaking and perhaps I'll update this review. The Weather Radio is excellent! Best weather radio I have ever owned. Several channels are clear in my area and at least two channels are "5 by 5" all the time. The weather alert function actually works! A tornado warning occurred late one night and as I had intentionally left the radio on it broke squelch and I was warned as you would expect. (it did not squelch after the alert was concluded) The battery lasts a long time. I wish my cell phone would last like this. The night I had left the radio on was several days into a discharge and even after that there was plenty of battery left. Great battery life! If I could find this same product working as an FRS GMRS radio I would gladly pay the same price again. This is good hardware!

## Features

- JIS8 Waterproof Level - Uniden MHS75 VHF Hand Held Radio won't give up no matter how wet it gets. Whitecap splash, gusty spray, tidal wave, whatever, this radio can take it. The Uniden MHS75 2-way Marine Radio is built rugged to take the rigors of being out on the water, day in and day out with a full JIS8 waterproof rating. It also features a floating design, and is submersible for up to 30 minutes at five feet.
- 1 /2.5/5 Watt Switchable - Select between 1, 2.5, and 5 Watts for short- and long-range communication - this is also a convenient way to save a little battery life. In most situations, the 1 Watt transmission power is all you need. If you find yourself far away from other stations and have trouble getting a response, you may need to boost the transmission power from 1 Watt to 2.5 Watts or 5 Watts.
- All USA, International, and Canada Channels - The MHS75 covers all USA, International, and Canadian marine channels, keeping you up-to-date with all the latest marine activity.
- All NOAA Weather Channels with Weather Alert - This radio comes preprogrammed with NOAA weather channels. The Emergency/Weather Alert allows it to function as a severe weather warning radio and will also alert you to any local or national emergencies. If the NOAA issues warning while this feature is turned On, the radio sounds an alert tone. You will then hear the emergency/weather broadcast.
- Instant Channel 16/9/Triple Watch - Triple Watch mode monitors channels 16 and 9 for a signal while you listen to the currently selected channel. The marine radio checks channel 16 and 9 for activity every 2 seconds.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: If I buy 3 of these radios can I talk and listen to others on the same channel**
A: Recent FCC change makes it legal to talk from shore to a boat on the water. Must restrict oneself to marine related traffic.
Effective January 2017, the use of portable VHF radio ashore is allowed, “so long as it is limited to enhancing the usefulness of marine VHF radios without negatively affecting 
maritime communications.” From BoatUS Magazine, April-May, 2017

**Q: is this pair of radios? (2 radios for $89?)**
A: Nope, it is a single radio.  The two-way designation means it both receives and transmits, as apposed to, say, your car radio, which only receives.

**Q: Can I use this radio as a scanner to listen to great lake freighter radio traffic?**
A: Yes, but if you only want to listen to voice traffic, a cheaper VHF, without DSC and GPS, will also work fine. Most are about $100 cheaper. This radio is suitable for recreational vessels involved in racing and coastal cruising.

**Q: Does this radio go back to channel 16 every time you turn it off and turn it back on????**
A: As channel 16 is for initial hailing, and emergency communications you should want it to turn on and be on 16

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little Marine Radio
*by D***N on May 3, 2012*

Purchased this to take out on the ocean in Monterey Bay on one-man and two-man Outrigger canoes. There are times we are more than a mile from shore, and three or four miles from the harbor. It seemed to be prudent to have a radio. Last week there was a rescue within 200 yards of the Coast Guard pier of two experienced kayakers who got flipped in rough chop. They had a radio and were picked up quickly. Without the radio they may have been in the water much longer before someone saw them and called for help. Nice high quality radio. This radio has held it's charge for over a month, turned off between uses. It is nice to listen to the weather channel while heading to the water. The radio is clear and plenty loud. Simple to use and to set up scanning. I like that it is totally waterproof, since we get pretty wet and may even flip into the water. It fits into a pocket on my Camel Back fanny pack, because it is small. I have a longer leash tied to the belt so I won't lose it, since it doesn't float, but I would rather have it smaller and tie it on. I did buy a plug in 12 volt converter to charge it at home. (Garmin brand, since I have a Garmin GPS, and I wanted to get enough power to charge that too.) I looked at a lot of radios and I am really happy with this choice.
