About this item
- JIS8 Waterproof Level - Uniden MHS75 VHF Hand Held Radio won't give up no matter how wet it gets. Whitecap splash, gusty spray, tidal wave, whatever, this radio can take it. The Uniden MHS75 2-way Marine Radio is built rugged to take the rigors of being out on the water, day in and day out with a full JIS8 waterproof rating. It also features a floating design, and is submersible for up to 30 minutes at five feet.
- 1 /2.5/5 Watt Switchable - Select between 1, 2.5, and 5 Watts for short- and long-range communication - this is also a convenient way to save a little battery life. In most situations, the 1 Watt transmission power is all you need. If you find yourself far away from other stations and have trouble getting a response, you may need to boost the transmission power from 1 Watt to 2.5 Watts or 5 Watts.
- All USA, International, and Canada Channels - The MHS75 covers all USA, International, and Canadian marine channels, keeping you up-to-date with all the latest marine activity.
- All NOAA Weather Channels with Weather Alert - This radio comes preprogrammed with NOAA weather channels. The Emergency/Weather Alert allows it to function as a severe weather warning radio and will also alert you to any local or national emergencies. If the NOAA issues warning while this feature is turned On, the radio sounds an alert tone. You will then hear the emergency/weather broadcast.
- Instant Channel 16/9/Triple Watch - Triple Watch mode monitors channels 16 and 9 for a signal while you listen to the currently selected channel. The marine radio checks channel 16 and 9 for activity every 2 seconds.

#1 drawback is radio does not float (nor does it claim to). Don't drop it overboard! #2 drawback - radio only comes with 12V charger (plugs into cigarette lighter port). Bought a 12V power supply with cigarette port that plugs into normal 120V AC socket. The power supply can also power my 12V air compressors from house outlet instead of having to start car.
Had the radio on for two days of cruising with 18 other sailboats, and had to communicate with 3 bridge tenders (twice each). Battery still showed 50% at the end of 2 days without any recharging. Outstanding battery life for a handheld radio.
Reception was clear, loud, and completely understandable. Everybody I talked to heard us fine on the 1W setting, never went to higher transmit power.
Well so far a great decision. This $80 radio has better range, battery life (lithium ion rather than NiMh) and controls than my last $125 radio. No problem reaching the beach on inland waters, the battery lasts all day even with numerous transmissions at 5 watts, and the controls work better and are more intuitive than my last radio. It's very light and and seems well built.
The only negative I was worried about from the reviews was the 12 volt only charger. Well it charges up well enough in my truck which does continue charging even when the ignition is off so I can just leave it overnight for a full charge. I do work on larger boats with only 120v AC and no convenient 12 volt so I bought a cheap 120 volt to 12v cigarette plug adapter here on Amazon for $3.
So all in all this is an excellent radio for the price. If I get a couple of years out of it It will have been a worthwhile purchase.
That being said I will give my observations and thoughts on this radio.
Hardware:
Nice. Really nice. This radio is solid and feels great in your hand. It looks great and has logically placed and responsive controls. The display is bright, clear and easy to interpret. The volume and squelch controls are smooth and have a nice solid "click" when turning off the radio. The keypad buttons are labeled, lighted and spaced for effortless use. This is a really nice device regardless of it's intended use.
Radio:
I live inland. About 60 miles from the US Gulf Coast. There is zero radio traffic on the marine bands where I live. I can not tell you anything about the marine radio on this thing... yet. Later this year I will return to kayaking and perhaps I'll update this review.
The Weather Radio is excellent! Best weather radio I have ever owned. Several channels are clear in my area and at least two channels are "5 by 5" all the time. The weather alert function actually works! A tornado warning occurred late one night and as I had intentionally left the radio on it broke squelch and I was warned as you would expect. (it did not squelch after the alert was concluded)
The battery lasts a long time. I wish my cell phone would last like this.
The night I had left the radio on was several days into a discharge and even after that there was plenty of battery left. Great battery life!
If I could find this same product working as an FRS GMRS radio I would gladly pay the same price again. This is good hardware!
