Does anyone have any feedback, pro or con, on this marine radio? I like the
compact size and the weather alert feature. The low price ($100) is also
attractive. ;-)

Submersible
Building a submersible radio is no simple task! STANDARD utilizes a high
impact non-corrosive case, conspicuous waterproof gasketing, connectors
and PCB's protected with Humiseal barrier. Engineered for unparalleled
reliability, the HORIZON ECLIPSE+ exceeds stringent JIS7 standards for
submersible testing.

Clear Voice Noise Reduction Technology
The ECLIPSE+ utilizes an exceptional microphone meeting the same strict
standards for waterproofing as the radio. ECLIPSE+ features Clear Voice
Noise Reduction Technology eliminating unwanted background noises like
engines and wind during transmission. This assures transmissions are
crystal clear. Handy buttons on the rubber armored microphone provide
convenient access to channels 16 and 9 plus up/down channel selection.

User-programmable Scanning/priority Scan
Like all STANDARD HORIZON scanning radios, you can easily program the
ECLIPSE+ to scan any number or combination of channels you choose with
or without priority on channel 16.

Complete Channel Coverage & Convenience
At first glance, the trim size of the ECLIPSE+ makes you wonder how so much
transmit power and so may features could be packed into this radio. But
they're all in there a full 25-watt output, all US, Canadian and
International
channels plus 10 NOAA Weather channels that provide you with 24-hour
continuous broadcasts. Press a single button and get all the information you
need on a jumbo, super-readable LCD. And should you need help fast, the
ECLIPSE+ also offers instant access to hailing channel 9 as well as USCG
emergency channel 16.

Noaa Weather Alert
The ECLIPSE+ features 10 NOAA weather channels including weather alert
allowing the ECLIPSE+ to intercept frequency encoded regional Emergency
Weather alerts. The LCD display provides visual indications for all scanning
functions with bold easy to understand flags.
