The Moonraker MHR-100 Handheld Marine Transceiver

摘要

Regular readers know from my Maritime Matters columns just how important I feel that it is to keep safe at the seaside, be it boating, windsurfing, paddle-boarding or any other marine leisure activity. With that in mind, the editor asked me to review the Moonraker MHR-100 Marine Handheld Transceiver. It is advertised as "an entry-level marine transceiver that is able to satisfy the communications requirements for most marine users". Like most basic marine handheld transceivers, it is not Digital Selective Calling (DSC) enabled. The MHR-100 comes in a blister pack containing the transceiver, a flexible antenna, five 1.2V Ni-MH AAA size rechargeable batteries, a USB auxiliary cable, a dedicated mains charger, a cigarette-lighter 12V charger, a belt clip, a hand strap, and a double-sided A4 user manual.
