I have a Uniden and the range is poor at best. Even the line of site range is pretty poor, and I have a good Shakespeare Antenna. Unfortunately most are made in China, and probably in the same factory with the same parts.
Sad thing about marine radios is they are basically line of site communication devices. If you are in a canyon like at Lake Powell or behind mountains you are very limited on who you can reach. Bad weather plays a big part as well.
Definitely do some more research before you commit and share with us what you find out. I might upgrade mine if I can find a better unit with good range.
