Marine Radios Review

As I look at the thermometer this morning, it’s hard to imagine that just a couple of months from now we will be thinking spring and the warmth of summer.  The reality is, however that the temp is 5 degrees below zero right now and I find that the snow starts creaking under your footsteps as you walk on it.  The snow will soon be gone and it will be time to launch you boat in the north country.  Along with that comes the normal “checklist” which for everyone should include a VHF Radio.  Now, a VHF radio doesn’t have to be a fixed unit, although that’s a nice way to go.  A handheld VHF Marine Radio can serve quite nicely as the primary communication device on smaller boats.   It can also serve as a backup for a fixed or mounted unit.
