FAQs
Do I need a licence to use this?
Marine VHF use typically requires an operator qualification and, in some cases, a station licence, check current NZ marine radio requirements before use.
Does this float if dropped overboard?
Yes, Float'n Flash means it floats and flashes an LED so it's easy to find if dropped in the water.
