Dan Uren - 01/11/2011 "An excellent radio, its compact size, battery life, ease of use and ruggedness made this the obvious choice for keeping in my buoyancy aid pocket while sea kayaking. The speaker is loud and is clearly audible even when in my pocket, and having the radio on my person at all times is very reassuring. Recommended."
