MX500YW 5 Watt VHF Marine Radio (Yellow)
Floats, Flashes & Fully Waterproof
Drop it off the boat or in a creek and it won't sink — the MX500 floats to the surface and flashes so you can spot and retrieve it. Rated IP67 against water and dust, it keeps transmitting through rain, spray and mud.
Switchable Power for Reliable Range
Transmit at a full 5 watts to reach other vessels, marinas and coast stations from further out, then switch down to 1 watt to conserve battery for close-range comms.
All International Marine Channels
The MX500 covers all International, US and Canadian marine VHF channel frequencies, so you're compliant and connected whether you're on local waters or cruising further afield.
Built Tough for Marine Life
A vibration water-draining function clears the speaker after a soaking for crisp, distortion-free audio, while the large backlit display keeps every channel and setting easy to read day or night.
