Very Satisfied.
A great little radio for the price. I have always been happy with the Humminbird, and this radio is no exception.

Great Marine Radio
So far so great. I've used the radio stations and weather alerts, but not the emergency band. Hope I'll never need it.
Feels durable and I love the charger. It holds a very nice charge.

Humminbird Marine Radio
I keep this on board my Boston Whaler in case of an emergency. I don't go too far from out so I do't need a very long range radio. Hope I never have to use it, but it adds a feeling of security.
