Yup it is a desireable feature. USCG regs says if there's a radio it
has to
be on. The ICOM uses 20% less power - less drain on batteries - perfect
for
sailboats!!


In the slip, on the hook, underway when power needs to be saved...nope.
Icom uses more power and few people will ever install than on a
sailboat. But you can prove us wrong. Go on yachtworld and find just 10
boats that have one installed. Usually listed under electronics. Go
ahead...show us!

Waaaa-ping!
