 | Author: Bill Jones | After buying a hand held radio and being very dissapointed with the range and features I asked a friend with Coast Guard Auxillary for help. He advised me of features he looked for in a radio. This one met all criteria. After getting it installed and only using a 3 ft antenna, I could not be happier. Hope I never need it in an emergency but if I do, I know I have a quality radio that will do what needs to be done. Really nice feature is the weather updates. | 9 |
