I installed a Uniden Solara DSC in my sailboat in June 2006 for cruising in Galveston Bay. Next, we are connecting the Garmin GPSMap 76 to it for position data. We have used it for 3.5 years now and it has always worked well, transmitting over 25 miles with a shakespeare antenna mounted 30' above the waterline. I highly recommend this radio for anyone desiring a well built VHF radio. No reservations recommending this radio. We are not replacing it in the near future.
It has a large, clear display and plenty of volume. All I can say is this is probably the best value for a DSC unit. It works great, and is very well made. Adding a flush mount kit will make it look like a professional installation in your console. If you want a radio that is simple to use and has all the safety features, I don't think you can beat the price.
Lots of features, Good Price and paired up with the TRAM 1610-HC 5-Ft VHF Marine Antenna, you can really reach out for miles.
This radio is super. Durable, easy to install. I bought it for a one time use, but I'm keeping it for my new boat purchase.
The scan all channels feature keeps you aware of what's going on around you. Nice compact unit. Waterproofing allows exposure to the elements. Comes with easy to use instructions. This is a lot of radio for the money. Large LCD display can be seen form a distance, even in bright sunlight. I can find no faults.
