17 of 18 people found the following review helpful Great for kayak fishing (if you are careful with it), By B. Christensen "Frequent traveler, business o... (Santa Barbara, CA United States) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Cobra MR HH125 Compact Waterproof Marine Handheld VHF Radio with 1 or 3 Watts, All Weather Channels, and Weather Alert (Black) (Electronics) This is a short-term review, as it has only been in use for less than a month. I also have a Uniden MHS350 radio, which is a much heavier duty VHF radio that this Cobra model.Comparison between the two: The Cobra is about 1/2 the cost Cobra is about 1/2 the weight, and smaller in size - much easier to clip to your PFD or jacket/belt while on the water. Cobra is "splash resistant" while Uniden is "water proof - submersible" which means that you probably should carry the Uniden unit in a plastic baggie if you are using it on a kayak (where things tend to get wet frequently). battery life is moderate - using AAA batteries, it lasts for a full day or so before needing fresh batteries. The MHS350 on the other hand, will last a week or more of all-day use with its NMh battery pack, and it includes a back-up battery and dual-slot charger. Feature-wise the Cobra does a good job of covering the basics - a full channel...

For the price I found this radio to be perfect for basic communications with my other boating friends as well as piece of mind for emergency use.Worked well talking with other boats, NOAH weather radio comes in fine, clear sound. I like the fact that you can scan multiple channels. For example channel 16 is the general hail and emergency channel, whereas in my area channel 68 is the general `chat' channel. With a single push of a button I listen to my normal chat channel and also scan the emergency bands. Using the radio it seems to be generally waterproof. Mine did get dunked a bit, and constantly gets splashed. No issues so far (two years of use). Don't put this in the water 3 feet under for 30 min to see if it still works, but with some common sense you should not have any issues. Although it is rated to be underwater like that, I don't suggest doing that. If this is only for...
