Waterproof, floats, has long operating times. Navicom's RT 330 is a good product, but not the test winner
Mobile VHF sparks are a good addition to the permanently installed device and can even replace it under certain conditions

Recently, the devices have even been available with the DSC selective and emergency call system. Equipped in this way, the only negative point is the shorter range compared to a fixed device. The mobile devices cost between 70 and 400 euros - a huge range. The performance should also vary greatly.

YACHT tested the products. Features such as the operation of the volume, channel selection and squelch, the signal quality when transmitting and receiving and the general operation were analysed, as were the charging and operating times, water protection and the search function.

Big test in the new YACHT (issue 13, on sale from 11 June)
