Uniden UM725G Black Fixed Mount VHF Radio with GPS

The Uniden UM725G Fixed Mount Marine VHF Radio in black is a full-featured 25-watt radio with a built-in GPS receiver and private text messaging, letting you send messages over marine channels to other capable radios. Uniden is the first to offer text messaging using marine VHF radio, giving you and your crew the privacy of texting boat-to-boat instead of broadcasting over the radio for every boat in the area to hear.

The integrated GPS receiver uses WAAS, SBAS, and QASS for accuracy, while the radio covers all USA, Canadian, and international marine channels and is fully Class D DSC compliant, meeting ITU-R 493-14, -15, and IEC 62238 standards. It transmits at 1 or 25 watts to ensure maximum range, and features the largest LCD in its class at 68mm wide by 38mm high. NOAA weather channels with weather alerts keep you informed of changing conditions, and a speaker microphone with UP, DOWN, PTT, and 16/9/TRI keys makes operation straightforward at the helm.

This radio is remote microphone capable, supporting an optional remote microphone for second station operation, and includes both NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 input and output to send and receive GPS and DSC information with other devices. It's rated IPX8 waterproof, submersible to 4.9 feet for 30 minutes with no water intrusion. Browse more in our marine electronics category.
