Marine Radios Review

You know – up here in the north country, the water is real hard in the winter….they call it “ice”.   Even though we know we are forced to put away our power boats in the winter, it doesn’t stop us from enjoying the great out-of-doors by ice fishing, cross county skiing, snowshoeing, or simply going out for a walk in the white wilderness.  Now – did I say anything about not needing any communication equipment along?  No.  That’s because it’s always a great idea to pack a small hand held VHF Radio into your out-of-doors gear as they are small enough to fit into your vest pocket.  You never know when you may be called upon to help someone in need – maybe yourself.  These little radios have a range of about 5-6 nautical miles over a clear area so you could probably be of great assistance to someone – even to direct rescue teams to your area with their communication devices if needed.  Always be safe and prepared.  Happy Boater.
