The Cobra Electronics MR HH475 is a robust and versatile marine handheld VHF radio designed for boating enthusiasts who prioritize safety and reliability on the water. This device is ideal for both recreational and professional mariners, featuring a wide range of functionalities that ensure seamless communication in challenging maritime environments.

One of the standout features of the MR HH475 is its impressive 6-watt transmission power. This allows for clear communication over long distances, making it essential for safety during unforeseen emergencies. Coupled with its robust range of channels, including all United States, Canadian, and international VHF marine channels, users can easily stay connected with other vessels and coastal services, ensuring reliable communication at all times.

The MR HH475 also showcases the latest technology with its Integrated GPS functionality.

The radio is also compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry or mount on a boat without taking up valuable space.

Additional features include a built-in flashlight for enhanced visibility during nighttime operations and easy-to-use controls with a backlit display for usability in low-light situations. The Cobra MR HH475 also supports NOAA weather channels, providing crucial updates on weather conditions, helping users make informed decisions while out on the water.

Overall, the Cobra Electronics MR HH475 is an excellent choice for those looking for a reliable marine VHF radio with advanced features like GPS and dual watch capabilities, marrying performance with the durability needed for life on the water.
