MRHH 425 use in Caribbean

I purchased this radio for use on a bare boat charter in St Martin. Initial tests in the US showed limited range of 1-2 miles when communicating with Talkabout or Marine VHF radios in a suburban environment. The 425 worked well in the Caribbean allowing me contact with my boat and other crew...

Quality Throughout

This is a very useful radio for the few of us who are licensed for GMRS, and who also live near or work or play on the water. I like everything about it, except for one thing. It is not very stable standing upright on a table or desk unless it is in its charging cradle. It rocks fore and aft....

Very Good

Excelant hand held. Recieves very good.Would give it a better rating if it was possible to connect it to a external antenna, then the transmit would be able to reach ferther.

MKH

Excellent radio! Has both marine band and GMRS to allow you to communicate with all other hand-helds. Also has weather channels. I would highly recommend it.

Good Radio, long battery life

I bought two of these radios to use during a family relocation from Southern California to the Puget Sound area. We had two cars and were driving through the Redwoods and rural sections of Northern California. I knew that there would be times when there would be no Cell Phone coverage and there...

Cobra Replay Marine/GMRS radio - Love this radio

This Cobra "Marine" radio is really used as an FRS/GMRS radio with a lot of power. It works very well and is easy to program and use. It has a VERY long lasting lithium battery (about 3 days on high power)and transmitts well from a vehicle on trips or through the mountains on a Ranger 4 wheeler...

Great Radio - No Complaints!

This is a great radio. I bought it chiefly because it was JIS7 waterproof and it had the GMRS band in addition to the VHF. If it is as heavy duty as it feels (like a brick) it should last a long time. The buttons are easy to use, although I have changed the channel on accident once or twice....

Great Quality Radio

I bought this radio a few days ago and I'm extremely happy with it. Coming from Icom radios I was expecting this to be a low quality item but I was plesantly surprised. The radio is very well made and seems like if it will last many years through rough abuse. I'm planning on using it mainly as a...

Great VHF/GMRS radio

I just received two of these radios earlier this week, primarily to use as GMRS radios.Having used them now for a few days, I'm so far impressed with the quality and reception. My biggest gripe is that the PPT button is sometimes hard to locate just right, since it is covered by the same flexible...

Excellent product, possibly best in class

Pros: Covers Marine VHF, GMRS and overlaps FRS. Comes with everything you could possibly need, especially Li-rechargeable, drop-in charger, AC and DC power cords, and AA battery case. Good controls, metal frame, swivel-off belt clip, easy to read display. Detachable antenna with SMA connector and...
