Retevis RM22 Waterproof Floating VHF Marine Radio (Same as Icom M37)

[@rowlybrown]

I didn't know there were channels assigned between 30 and 60. Is this new?

[@m7frs272]

The private channels are between 28 and 60. Channel 37 (also known as M1) is allocated to all Yacht/sailing clubs & marinas, so tends to be found as standard in most VHF sets these days. Thanks for watching.

@@m7frs272 Ben, thanks, didn't know that there were private channels for marine stations. Maybe not in Canada. Thinking about how they fit into the band, will look it up. 73 ---Oh, hell, of course, you are in the UK! The M call didn't register. was expecting a G. Disregard.

Pretty nice, I think I'll get a set. Then explain to my wife why I need a boat now.

[@m7frs272]

Sounds like the perfect excuse to get a boat! Thanks for watching 👍

น่าจะป้องกันน้ำได้ระดับหนึ่ง...แล้วถ้าน้ำเค็มอย่างน้ำทะเล...อาจเกิดเกลือเป็นอันตรายต่อวงจรอีเล็คโทรนิคส์ครับ

[@m7frs272]

Thanks for watching, yes I always give my VHF handhelds a rinse in clean warm water after I've been at sea.

What use have you got for a marine band radio. Let me guess Retevis Gave you one to review But you haven't got a marine band Licence And you probably don't live near the coast So obviously you cannot do an air test which is pointless

[@m0jgx]

Ben does have a Marine Licence and is a Marine Radio instructor leading the VHF marine classes in Lowestoft (Yeah I think Lowestoft qualifies as near the coast????) So... conclusion, londo isn't good at guessing!

[@m7frs272]

Thanks for your comment, I'm an RYA power boat, safety boat and VHF marine radio instructor/assessor and use VHF marine both professional for work and for leasure while out on my RIB and or Kayak, for which, yes I have an offcom ships radio and ships portable licenses. Yes I clearly live on the coast as demonstrated in the video. I would say thanks for watching, but due to your comments I can only assume you've not watched the video lol 🤣🤣🤣

@londo776 I've given it a proper test, just for you x kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZmblmmfes6kfbMsi=NKBx3OiQmLB53PE5
