I used the radio to monitor channel 16 and the weather alert channels for several days out on the lake. I heard some radio chatter and also received a few weather alerts while monitoring channel 16. The weather alert feature is loud and works well. I can't speak to transmit range but suspect it would be acceptable. After four full days of boating on a single charge the battery indicator still read full. It is easy to use and feels like a quality product. Recommended for leisure boaters to have in case of emergency.

A few things I would recommend, take a moment to wipe down the radio (mostly just the battery terminals) and any seals after use, especially if it is exposed to salt water, but you should always do that anyway. Saltwater is harsh on things, even “waterproof” things. If the radio gets submerged, LIGHTLY blow into the mic to get any water out, that way your transmission won’t be a garbled mess. I can’t speak to the longevity of this radio, as I’ve only had it for a short bit, but so far it’s working great. I mostly use it for inland rivers and protected bays here in the mountainous PNW, and my range on High is very good considering the size of this radio.
I was on the fence about this radio with so many negative reviews, but this thing seems like a good Cobra product, reliable, and practical for me (kayaker). I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this radio.
