What makes it stand out

From the moment you power it on, you’ll notice a bright, expansive display—the largest LCD in its class—making it easier to read channels, weather information, and DSC prompts at a glance. The dual transmit power of 1W and 25W lets you tailor your range to the situation, whether you’re dockside, coastal, or venturing farther offshore.

Real-world use cases

Picture a busy marina or a foggy open water crossing. You can scan the appropriate channels while keeping private text communication with your crew, avoiding broadcasts to all nearby vessels. NOAA alerts appear alongside channel information, supporting timely, practical decisions as weather evolves. A sturdy speaker mic keeps controls within reach on a windy deck, and the dual power output helps you balance battery life with reach when far from shore.

• Private boat-to-boat messaging to coordinate maneuvers without public chatter
• Clear channel visibility in bright sun or spray thanks to a large LCD
• Timely weather updates and audible alerts to assist planning
