📻 Uniden UM385BK 25W Fixed Mount Marine VHF Radio, Waterproof IPX4 with Triple Watch, DSC, Emergency/NOAA Weather Alert, All USA/International/Canadian Marine Channels, Memory Channel Scan, Black Review

Tried four days to connect and get NMEA functions to work. Directions are worse than useless, they're not doable, and you'll spend the rest of your life trying to figure them out. Trying to connect a Garmin device that only has two wires is no problem, think again.

Poor production. Before I could install it, the wearable clip fell apart. Looks glued together. Update: I started a return and 2 days later I replaced the exact same unit, model UM435BK, exactly the same problem. The button on the back of the controller broke before I could install it on the boat. Return both blocks for return. Do yourself a favor and pay a little more for a quality device. Production is seriously lacking.

Bought 5 of these for my fleet of tugs. 4 stars out of 5 because 4 out of 5 radios last more than a few months. All but one work great. After 2 months, the speaker sometimes worked, and then by mistake it didn't work at all. The other 4 had no problems at all. Maybe a defect or something loose inside. We have to send it back. They transmit clearly, quite loud when the volume is cranked all the way up. The multi-channel search function is very useful if you only have one radio and want to listen

installed this on my boat with the new 48 inch antenna. The first time I walked out I called radio check and came in loud and clear. It has a scan function, not like old radios where you press scan mode and when someone is talking it stops on that channel. In this case you have to program the channels you want to scan by just typing to go to that station and press and hold scan until you hear a beep, just like programming your car radio. The company sent it quickly and free of charge, in fact…

I was reluctant to buy this unit based on other reviews but the price was worth a try and Revain have a great return policy if it doesn't work. I loosened the spring on the mic arm due to reports of a loose plastic mic mount. I feel a fix needs to be made and I didn't notice any flaws with the mic. I installed a radio and 42" antenna on my pontoon boat, launched it in the St. Johns River 26 miles away, requested a radio check and received a clear response on channel 16. A few miles into my…

Arrived quickly. I installed it and it worked great the first time. On the way back from fishing the wind picked up and got a bit sporty for my 16ft boat and when I came back I was pretty wet. The following weekend I turned it on and got the first beep it made when turned on. All day on the boat he never received a phone call or triple scan weather info. Considered not accepted. I used my Cobra VHF handheld that I had used before and tried to see if it would send or receive calls but it didn't.

We used to have a full-featured, more reliable Uniden radio; We reviewed two of them as the first one failed a few years after installation. We had a WHAM which, as stated in the manual, worked with the newer UNIDEN VHF models; it still works and I preferred that feature. We screwed up a lot with our previous radio, which had a much more efficient in-mic interface (and not coincidentally had a speaker, so in noisy environments - common onboard - I could hold the mic close to my ear and hear the
