This is a 5 Watt Floating, waterproof VHF. Mine worked great at first, then I had trouble with corrosion between the battery and radio. Then, the charger didn't charge the battery to 100%. I found the Standard Horizon (Yasue) Warranty repair factory located in Cypress (North of Seal Beach) and paid them a visit. They were very helpful and replaced all corroded parts on both my radios and repaired the issue with the charger. Now the radios work like brand new ones. Did I say they were very helpful?

Lesson Learned: Make sure you rinse between the battery and radio after saltwater use and air dry.
