What is the maximum range on this? Does it work good for boat use? Is it at least waterproof?

It's definitely not waterproof(Though I've had the receiver buried in melting snow for about an hour). Range is pretty decent, (I've tested it up to about 70-80 meters). But I'm using it with an RC car.

I have it on a 2wd slash lcg and I've had it at around 70 yards and no the receiver is not waterproof to my knowledge.. But in the current receiver box it would be a good choice for a boat

Range that I have tested to is about 100 yards (Can hardly tell direction of the car). I don't have a boat. It is not water proof on its own the receiver needs to be in a sealed box and the controller I would not say is water proof either. Hope this helps it's a good controller for a great price.

I use it on a boat too. Don't think I would consider it "water proof", but it gets splashed on once in a while.

I'm not sure. I use it to go into boats in the rain, my stuff never gets wet. The bag is tough. Make sure you don't overstuff the bag as the water seal depends on proper rolling to seal, it is basically a giant dry bag liek you would use to keep your wallet and keys and phone dry on a boat, except really big.

i would not use it for that at all , just to play with it in the sea may be ok but will not take a lot of waves I seen that after being out on my boat with it

I wouldn't use it on a boat. It gets condensation in it when you're sitting out in the rain: I'm most certain it would get ruined being in such a water rich environment.

Hi there I would call it highly water-RESISTANT not necessarily waterproof. It does meet the IP67 waterproofing standard at level 5:Water jets Water projected by a nozzle (6.3 mm) against enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effects. Test duration: at least 3 minutesWater volume: 12.5 litres per minutePressure: 30 kPa at distance of 3 m....So for most normal use by recreational boaters on the water, you should be fine.Cheers,ScottMaple Leaf GPS

While rugged and weather resistant, it isn't waterproof and were it to be immersed in water, it might not function. Note this is a battery radio but it also operates on AC, so it isn't designed to be seriously wet.

It doesnt say waterproof on the radio itself, doesnt really look waterproof to me. It would be good on a boat, if you dont drop it in the drink!

It is NOT waterproof. As far as leaving outdoors, I would not think that would be a problem. The top fits covering over the sides of the tops of the box so in a boat it should be ok as long as it is not submerged in water.

Yes it can be used with boats well. Savox makes water proof servos as do most major brands that will work with the radio.

These units are not water proof. They do work very well. We bought four of these years ago to stay in-touch with the kids on outings, and they work very well. The range is great. Range varies like with all transmitters depending on obstacles (such as trees, structures and hills, etc.) and atmospheric conditions. In our tests range varied between 1 to 2 mile in the city and wooded areas such as mountains, and far more over flat terrain or water (where you get the best range). All around it's a great product (best of it's kind we could find) with lots of great features.

It works by wifi, max range from the unit is about 50, 60 feet. I use it on a river and had to make a styrfoam platform to float it in the swift current.

I have had it at least 30-40 ft out at the most. Had small area. Have not tried to lose contact. Antenna extends about 2-3-ft. Very cool! I like it a lot. Battery only lasts ~10min though. May want to upgrade battery pack.

Range is 200 - 300 feet. Will signal dog in every position, even in water. Is water proof. I do not use it that often anymore as it helped me to train my dog from running away. Worked very well.

No it is not waterproof and I have not had much luck making it work as it described.Hope this helps

As far as "totally waterproof", this detector can go down to 10 feet max, so "totally" isn't necessarily the case either. Look to the Sea Hunter or Infinium LS Series for much more "waterproof" detectors from Garrett. Remember to get yourself a good set of waterproof headphones as well because they don't come with the machine automatically. I hope this helped. Good Hunting!

Absolutely not! These are UHF, not VHF. They are not on marine band frequencies. No one out on the ocean will be listening to these channels unless you bring someone else along with the same sort of radio set to the same channel. The range of these radios from a kayak will be MAYBE 2 miles, if you are lucky (less than one mile is more likely). These radios are not waterproof. If you can afford ocean kayaking, you can afford a handheld marine radio that has the correct channels and is at least water resistant (you still won't get much more than 2 miles, simply because of the small antenna and the low height above the water -- but at least someone will be listening on Marine Channel 16) Absolutely not!
