The product combines size, value, and performance that makes it a good choice for an all around marine communications radio.

Features

The MHS450 brings the following key features to make marine radio useful and easy:

•Complete Marine VHF channels (USA-1Ato 88A) for the U.S., Canada, and International waters — let you communicate with standard marine radio operators.

•National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather channels — let you listen to the local operational channel of the ten available.

•NOAA Weather Alert — provides a siren tone warning of a serious impending weather event and emergency weather warnings, broadcast by NOAA.

•Emergency CH 16 (Coast Guard/Distress Hailing) and CH9 (Calling/Hail Secondary) operation

•Memory Scan — lets you store a channel (frequency) into memory for scanning at another time using Dual or Triple Watch or the standard Scan feature.

•Triple and DualWatch Operation — In TripleWatch operation, the radio monitors the current channel, then the Coast Guard/Distress/Hailing channels 16 and 9. In DualWatch, the radio monitors the channel in use (standard or weather) then channel 16 in that order.
