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 basic yet feature-filled handheld VHF costs less than $100. It’s hard to imagine because the Uniden brand delivers reliability in a quality package. It’s pretty robust. Though not really compact, it’s small enough to be able to carry it around in your pocket (though it comes with a clip) and the battery will give you 10 hours of combined stand-by/talk-time. Surprisingly, it also has the triple watch feature allows you to monitor channel 9 & 16 while using another switch-over channel making it both useful and safe.
Things we like:
-

Things we don't like:
-
It’s slaved to the one charging dock -
No NMEA 0183 Interface
-
No DSC
