Uniden UM725GBTBK Marine VHF Radio with GPS, Bluetooth, and NOAA Weather

Overview

The Uniden UM725GBTBK Marine VHF Radio is built to accompany you on coastal trips, lake journeys, and offshore adventures. It provides broad channel coverage for USA, Canada, and international waters, ensuring you stay connected wherever your voyage takes you. With a flexible transmit power setup and intuitive readability, this radio balances performance with user-friendly operation.

Power, clarity, and safety on the water

Manage communication range with two transmit modes: 25W for longer reach and 1W for close, controlled conversations in crowded harbors or near docks. The device emphasizes clarity through a large, easy-to-read display, helping you respond quickly in dynamic conditions. NOAA weather channels deliver timely alerts, while DSC distress capabilities offer a rapid way to signal an emergency and initiate location sharing when needed.

Readability you can rely on

Compared to typical handhelds, the UM725GBTBK features the largest LCD size in its class, enhancing visibility in bright sun or busy cockpit environments. The generous display supports faster channel selection and clearer status indicators, reducing the chance of missed messages during critical moments.

Navigation, safety, and data sharing

The radio includes a built-in GPS receiver so your location is readily available for distress signaling or quick replies to nearby vessels. NMEA0183 and NMEA2000 compatibility enable data exchange with other marine devices, helping you streamline information across your onboard electronics.

Connectivity and convenience

Built-in Bluetooth opens a path to your smartphone, allowing you to send text messages over VHF to other equipped radios. A speaker microphone supports hands-free operation, so you can stay focused on navigation and crew communication. This model is designed to handle a variety of boating environments with reliable performance.

Durability for the open water

With IPX8 waterproof rating, it resists splashes and immersion scenarios typical of boating life, providing added resilience in rain or spray. The UM725GBTBK combines rugged construction with practical features designed to support everyday use on the water.
