This is a marine VHF radio which I have installed in my boat. It works very well and it of a size that fits almost anywhere for installation . It arrived on time and was very well packaged . I have only had this item 2 weeks and so far the reception and sending is excellent. I recommend this product based on the time frame I have operated it.
