Digital camera reviews of Uniden MHS 350 Handheld Marine 2-Way VHF Radio

Digital camera Review: Great Radio
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the second Uniden marine radio I've purchased for use while ocean kayaking. The first one is a larger model with built in GPS functionality. I bought this one because it's a lot smaller and I don't need the GPS feature for most of the paddling I do. So far this one is measuring up to the excellent quality that I've experienced with my first radio. I keep the radio either on deck or clipped to my PFD, and despite the regular exposure to water, it keeps on working. Combined with excellent battery life (an extra battery is included) and easy to use controls, this is a great product.

Summary of Uniden MHS 350 Handheld Marine 2-Way VHF Radio

Compact, rugged an submersible, the MHS350 features a huge LCD display housed in a die-cast aluminum case, making it a must for eventhe most dmanding users. Equipped with enough battery life to carry you through a long weekend the MHS350 comes with two rechargeable NiMH batteries that deliver 12-14 hours of worry free operation. And because your portable always gets wet the MHS350 is built to survive full submersion. It's easy to see why we say the MHS350 is easy to see and hard to beat.
Stay safe while navigating the open waters with the Uniden MHS 350 handheld two-way VHF radio. Specifically designed for marine applications, the radio receives all U.S., Canadian, and international marine channels, keeping you fully up to date on all the latest oceanic activity. At the same time, the radio offers 10 weather channels from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA), so you'll hear about approaching storms before they hit. And thanks to the radio's Specific Area Message Encoding (S.A.M.E.) weather alert, you needn't worry about receiving bad weather news from outside your region. Instead, S.A.M.E. employs a FIPS code that syncs with your specific location, so if a nasty wind or rainstorm is gathering in your immediate area, you'll know, but you won't be bothered by storm warnings 100 miles up the coast.

As with any good handheld marine radio, the MHS 350 is waterproof and rugged, with a compact design that fits easily in the hand. It's also a breeze to browse through the channels thanks to the scan function, which starts on the lowest programmed channel and progresses to the highest. And when in scan mode, the radio automatically actives the Triple Watch Plus function, which monitors the emergency channels (16 and 9) along with a user-selected channel and the weather alert. Knowing that emergencies typically don't announce themselves in advance, the Triple Watch Plus function is a must for safe boating. Users also have one-touch access to channels 16 and 9, just in case.

When you're not using the radio, simply drop it in the charging cradle, which will keep the rechargeable NiMH battery pack operating at full capacity. Additional features include backlit keys, a backlit display, a key lock, a power save mode, two power modes (5 watts and 1 watt), and such portable extras as a belt clip and wrist strap. The MHS 350, which measures 2.7 by 5.8 by 1.68 inches (W x H x D), is backed by a three-year warranty.
