Overview

Marine communication, ready for your day on the water

From an early fishing trip to an afternoon under sail, keep marine communication close at hand with the Uniden MHS129 5W Waterproof Handheld VHF Marine Radio.

Designed for trailer boats, kayaks, jet skis, powerboats and yachts, the MHS129 provides ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore voice communication within VHF radio range. It communicates directly over marine VHF radio, without depending on mobile phone reception.

Selectable 5W and 1W transmission power

Choose 5W transmission when higher output is needed, or select 1W for nearby communication to help conserve battery power. The selectable output gives you a practical way to match the radio to the situation.

IP67 protection for wet conditions

The MHS129 is rated IP67 for dust and water protection. With all fittings secured, its waterproof rating covers immersion in water to a depth of 1 metre for 30 minutes.

Whether spray comes over the bow or water splashes onto your equipment, it is built with the marine environment in mind.

Up to 19 hours of operating time

A supplied 2500mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery delivers up to 19 hours of operating time. Actual battery life varies with transmission time, settings and operating conditions.

USB Type-C charging and an included charging cradle make recharging part of your usual trip preparation.

Keep track of important channels

Dual Watch monitors your current channel and an instant priority channel, while Memory Scan searches saved channels for activity.

USA, International and Canadian marine VHF channel groups provide further flexibility when the appropriate group is selected for your location.

Practical features at your fingertips

The MHS129 includes an SOS emergency alert function, keypad lock, busy channel lockout, channel monitor, adjustable nine-level squelch and a power-saving mode.
