One of the most important aspects of a handheld VHF for me is the battery life. If something goes wrong, it's an important piece of mind factor. Although the radios in this blog have the most important waterproof rating, they fall short on battery life.

The Uniden MHS75 advertises up to 10 hr battery life. The Cobra MR HH 350 does not mention it. When a product does not mention it, it's probably not very good. A search on google revealed that it has a 1000mah battery.

For comparison, the Standard Horizon HX210 has a 1800mah battery and advertises a battery life of up to 20hrs.

The best advice I can give is to get one that has the speaker mic option.
