cobra good radio but not have AIS Receiver , no good , also bluetooth no need for radio , waste of time only , when you boat have problem , when conecting boat fast go to down-will sink , lol , new function new problem ; ....... -AIS receiver and DSC function add further assurance for safety at sea. The integrated AIS receiver displays vessel traffic information is shown on the screen. The AIS target call function allows you to easily set up a DSC individual call. Distress calls can be made with the rear panel distress button
The worst part of most VHF marine handheld radios is the antenna, they need better antennas on them or an optional higher gain antenna, the worst part of the Icom is the screen is hard to see in bright sunlight.
