Review on Cobra MR F45-D Fixed Mount VHF Marine Radio – 25 Watt VHF, Submersible, LCD Display, Noise Cancelling Microphone, NOAA Weather Channels, Signal Strength Meter, Scan Channels, White by Robert Ryokan

I bought a Cobra MR F45-D VHF marine radio. It should be "GPS ready". In order for the radio to report your location, I had to purchase a $90 Cobra CM 300-005 locator. This was not mentioned in the product description. As a result, I compared this device to more expensive devices with built-in GPS. Very disappointed that this was not revealed. I bought and installed the CM 300-005 with the help of a certified electrician. The radio still doesn't report the location. I contacted customer service for help fixing the issue, but "the lines were full" and the automated service hung up because they couldn't leave a message to call back. Strongly do not recommend buying this product due to the misleading product description and poor customer service.
