Comments about MHS050 2 Handheld VHF Radio Two Pack:
like to carry for emergency on my personal watercraft.. had an emergency first day i had them no lie.. got absolutely no response from any emergency services vessels.. coast guard.. NYPD.. sea tow.. NOBODY!!!! At one point i could actually see an NYPD vessel aprox 1/4 to 1/2 mile in the distance and could not reach it.. couldnt reach anyone at all.. on ANY channel.. and i was in the long island sound whee it meets the east river in NYC.. so u can imagine how busy those waters are at 4pm on a sunny sat afternoon in june.. thank god i had my cell phone abord as well.. am returning FIRST THING tomorow... only worked with EACHOTHER and no more than 50 yards
