Uniden MHS235 Submersible, Floating Handheld VHF Marine Radio

The Uniden MHS235 Submersible Floating VHF Marine Radio is built to save lives. With built in GPS, it knows your location and with a push of the "Disaster Key", the DCS Digital Selective Calling system initiates a mayday, transmitting your location so you can be rescued. This model will also be listening for distress calls and using the best technology available, CLASS D, it has a built in receiver dedicated to listening to the emergency channels, so there are no missed calls and no interruption of your communications while the radio searches the emergency channels.

A design that fits into your hand, the large display offers you a choice of two backlit colors, orange or green. If you drop it in the water, it floats to the surface and the glow in the dark seals and power key allows you to find it easily. No more difficult menu settings just to change between 3 levels of power, 1, 2.5 or 6 watts.

Just set it one time at 1 or 2.5 watts to maximize the battery life and when you need the maximum transmit allowed, a full 6 watts, just use the POWER BOOST key and you have instant full power. The bright strobe can easily be turned on, flashing SOS, getting the attention of others when you are in need of help.

The design is not only attractive, but achieves the highest level of water tightness, JIX8/IPX8 standard, allowing for complete submersion of 5 feet for over 30 minutes.
