@miketexas4549 Год назад

Hello sir what kind of range (radius) can you expect with a hand held radio like yours?

@gregmarthabutler Год назад

Range varies with conditions but also vhf is mainly line of site as are most radios, however if you can see a radio mast on land, usually you can contact the coastguard at the very least.

@miketexas4549 Год назад

@@gregmarthabutler Do you think it would reach shore if you were 20 miles out with perfect weather?

@gregmarthabutler Год назад

@@miketexas4549 i think you would need a fixed vhf with more power and bigger antenna, best thing to do is to ask icom to see what system they have to suit your needs they are very helpful 🙌

@miketexas4549 Год назад

@@gregmarthabutler Rodger that. I do have a fixed on my sailboat with a mast mounted antenna, I'm just wondering how much protection I would have in the event it craps the bed and I had to go to the hand held as a back up.

@gregmarthabutler Год назад

@@miketexas4549 ye in that instance and you are in trouble, i would be looking at an epirb, this sends out a signal of distress anywhere in the world, the hand held radio can be a backup for any vessels close by

Hi Greg great review do I need to do course you this vhf radio thanks shaun 👍🇬🇧🚒

@gregmarthabutler 2 года назад

To use a radio regularly yes, go to the RYA Website or call our friends at www.waterwise-marine.co.uk

I have the same VHF but the M25 EURO. I have been looking for that hidden transparent flashing section on the bottom of the unit and no matter how close I look I still can't see it. Neat how they hide it like that but thanks to your independent test I know it works:-) Anyway, how fast will 300hp on a small rib take you? About 40kns maybe? Interesting video.

@gregmarthabutler 3 года назад

56mph the gps is reading speed over ground.

@ademunandar2907 2 года назад

when you got trouble, how fast the rescuer come after you reported it at ch 16 ?

@gregmarthabutler 2 года назад

That all depends where you are and who is around listening, rescuers will do their upmost to help im sure as fast as they can

@daveyt51 3 года назад

Hi, nice video. Can you get weather reports from this model?

@gregmarthabutler 3 года назад

Weather reports broadcast from the coast guard yes but not digitally. Thanks for watching 😎

@daveyt51 3 года назад

@@gregmarthabutler okay, thanks for the quick reply.

@phimister78 2 года назад

hey big man I was wanting to order one of these for my safety with my JetSki but now I’m being told you need some sort of license? surely that’s ridiculous

@gregmarthabutler 2 года назад

Ye you do, an RYA 1 day course + exam and registration with ofcom, however i will say buy one for emergency anyway to contact the coastguard on channel 16. The course informs you of the doos and donts of how to use the radio properly

@phimister78 2 года назад

@@gregmarthabutler aye cheers for getting back to me lad . what suits ect should i be looking at to keep that cold away ? would a wet suit alone be enough to keep the cold away?

@gregmarthabutler 2 года назад

@@phimister78 thats personal choice, look at wetsuits or drysuits, maybe try some on if you can
