BOATING & FISHING
Marine Radios for Boating & Fishing
Choose communication equipment designed for the water, not just a general handheld. Recreational boaters should compare marine-band suitability, waterproofing, buoyancy and emergency features.
What to look for
- A marine radio approved for the intended Australian operating environment
- Waterproof or submersible construction appropriate to the vessel
- Battery endurance, charging method and visibility in poor conditions
A quick answer before you buy
Can I use an ordinary UHF CB radio as my marine radio?
UHF CB and marine VHF serve different purposes. Choose equipment suitable for the waterways and operating requirements relevant to your trip, and check current Australian rules before use.
