hi it's betty bauman from ladies let's go fishing we're so excited to have the icom vhf radio 506. and i'm going to flip this around and show you what it can do we're on the scout 251 xss and your vhf radio is very important for communications and as well as your safety this is the icom m506 it has some incredible features one thing you'll notice is is it got a nice large display that's easy to see it's got a distress button that when hooked up with your gps it displays gps and that tells the coast guard immediately where you are sometimes when you're in trouble there's not enough time to figure that out so this is a very important safety feature and also shows surrounding vessels that use ais receivers one thing this vhf radio can do is digital selective calling you can call a buddy exclusively instead of hailing for them on the channel and that's really cool because if you're fishing
