If you find a good deal on Slope Magazine, you click to the retailer, and you buy the product, we get a commission of the sale. That's is how we pay ourselves. It does not make the product pricier for you.
when you buy through us.
This small, lightweight unit has all the features you need, including tri-watch, float & flash, USB charging, aqua-quake to vibrate water out. There aren’t all the bells and whistles of higher end devices but the price of this VHF makes it a unit you should buy if in doubt. ICOM makes great products and their support is great too. It includes weather information channels too. For the casual cruiser or as a redundancy VHF or ditch bag radio this is a good choice as it doesn’t take up much space but does a pretty good job when needed.
