Floating VHF with integrated GPS HH600 - COBRA

vol too low

The handset is very light and fast charging. The repeat button is most useful to re-listen to what someone said last. It has lots of features, but you can’t do something simple like access channel M2 or P2, which our club use for racing, rendering it useless for me.

Could have bought it £ 40.00 cheaper.i have it now so I have to take my oil.

I bought this radio because I liked the "say again" button. What I didn't know is that you need to use that button virtually all the time, because the speaker is absolutely useless! It's so quiet that with the added noise of wind and the engine of the average boat, you cannot hear absolutely anything coming out of that speaker. I have measure the noise of my engine at 65 DB and in a quiet environment I have measured the the voice coming out of this speaker at 45 DB at half metre distance. When the radio is on the dash I cannot even hear if somebody is actually transmitting.I have had issues with the instructions, or rather the lack of them. There is a symbol that came up on the display, which I cannot find anywhere the meaning of. Another thing is that I cannot find the way to delete a waypoint and the instruction book mentions nothing about it. I am computer literate and believe me when I say that I am totally unable to find a way to delete them... I've played with it for a week now and it's driving me insane. Especially annoying is the fact that the radio came with two waypoints already in it and I cannot delete them.The display is great and it has a lot of information, but unfortunately it's all too small and without my glasses I can't see any of it, apart from the channel number.It's a return for me.

This radio has some great features and can send an instant distress alert, it even picks up call from your mobile phone via Bluetooth, floats with anactivated strobe when it hits the water. So many great features in this radio it is almost a must have item on your boat.I purchased this for my sea kayak for all the above reasons however "check out the display read out display for your self first.It is so poor that I can not use all of these features because it's too hard to read!Unless you have really good eyesight or glasses you may find it suitable but for me it's a great hand held radio let down by a poor display that is so hard to read..
