The specs say that the range is five miles maximum. That makes it more of a toy than a serious marine radio. You could communicate with nearby boats
within a five mile range, but it hardly takes the place of an onboard marine radio. It is not a radio for contacting onshore family, friends or
emergency services if you are out further than five miles.

You can add an external antenna and some height to get more range.....I have done that with my Midland model handheld

Five miles? On an average day, barring fog etc. , you're looking at 'em.

My advice on fishing on the ocean, or a lake for that matter is only go out as far as you can swim back!!!

Make sure this HH unit will accept an external antenna, before you buy one with the idea of going that route. Many, especially the less expensive
ones, will not.

Toe fetish. It's a pre-requisite for living in Puta Banda.
