And…the overview of the model and options was spot on!

Hi Bob these are some good life saving tips. In the Netherlands a marine radio and an operate certificate are mandatory for all larger lakes, the Wadden Sea and the North Sea. And for others waters where the mobile phone is still available, we have an app. on the mobile phone, in which you can ask the rescue stations to follow your sailing trip, and if you do not want that, you can use an emergency button in the app. and they go on their way to your "salvation" or request for help.

Yes I left it at home that day, I will do better next time.

I have the same radio and I definitely learn a couple things about it from you today. Thanks.

That’s a nice well equipped VHF. I like that it has an FM radio.

[marksherwinsky]

Appreciate it just bought it. You cleared up the questions I had on PWC to pwc communication

[donaldwest]

Excellent information! I have The SH HX210. I'll have to watch the video a couple more times and get out my instruction booklet as I'm just learning about the different channels and features of my radio. This was very helpful. Thanks so much for sharing.

[tommytsadventures]

Great info Bob! I never go out on the water without mine.

[kzrman]

Hi Bob, Just picked up the same radio that you have. Looks like I'm really going to enjoy using it. 73, de W1LKS.

[josefsils]

Per your advise. Bought a brand new one at 145.00 shipped. Its everything you said. Also the MMSI is free if your a BoatUS member.

[berwin]

I have the same radio, it's great. The only concern I have with it is the antenna. To me it just feels very cheap, almost like like it's just rubber. Great video!

[richardkelly]

Great videos. Do you have a video on how to clean your jet skis after salt water use?

[danav]

Somebody probably already asked in the comments but I can’t see it. What is the battery life on that thing?

[samelgore]

Bob, can you tell us a little about your GPS system and whether you did your install yourself? thanks very much.

[patricklions]

I have a baofeng uv9r (water proof). The thing i dont understad is how to get anyone on the radio. At home i hear no one.. my radio is VHF/UHF. Are those the frequencies i need for the water? Or do i need a different radio? Just want to be safe with the family.

[kkutube]

Thanks for the video. Do you pay monthly for the red gps that you pull out? Also, would that apply to fresh such as lake or just to the ocean.

[Rob-Oh]

Would you recommend having one on freshwater lakes?

[TheUnknown-mgfv]

I rather get one that floats theres others that you throw in water it starts to stobe
