Used this radio for one month before it borke. Water from typical boat spray off the bow entered the housing and ruined the radio. I would not even rate the radio as water resistant let alone waterproof. Otherwise it worked fine till it got splashed.

Comments about MR HH125 3 Watt Waterproof Handheld VHF, Black:
Had this radio on board for one week and the rigid antenna broke off completely. This is not a "rubber ducky" flexible antenna. Bend it and it breaks away at the mount.
