Having a good fixed mount VHF on your boat when cruising is an established bit of wisdom by now. This marine two-way radio doesn’t disappoint. It has the features to get you out, around and home from ocean excursions (or Great Lakes adventures for that matter). With NMEA 2000 input this VHF interfaces beautifully with other devices like GPS giving you AIS mapping. ICOM makes some of the most dependable radios on the market and this one lives up to that reputation.
