Uniden UM725 Fixed Mount Marine VHF Radio w/GPS - Black

The Uniden UM725 Fixed Mount Marine VHF Radio with GPS is engineered for captains and serious anglers who demand reliable two-way communication and navigation on the water. This Class D fixed-mount unit combines full-featured VHF capability with integrated GPS positioning, making it an essential safety and operational tool for recreational and commercial boating. Whether you're running offshore charters, weekend cruising, or competitive fishing tournaments, the UM725 delivers the communication redundancy and situational awareness modern mariners require.

Built-in GPS positioning eliminates the need for separate chartplotters or external antenna integration, streamlining your helm setup and reducing wiring complexity. The radio's standout feature—private text messaging over marine VHF channels to compatible Uniden units—allows silent, discreet communication without broadcast transmissions, a capability that sets it apart from conventional marine radios. The fixed-mount design (6 × 4 × 9 inches) provides a compact footprint suitable for cabin cruisers, center consoles, and commercial vessels. With a 3.5 lb weight and robust marine-grade construction, installation is straightforward on any vessel with 12V DC power and standard antenna provisions.

This unit is ideal for offshore fishermen, charter captains, and boaters operating in areas where Coast Guard communication and peer-to-peer coordination are critical. The integrated GPS receiver provides real-time position data for emergency situations (MAYDAY broadcasts include your exact coordinates) and crew coordination on multi-vessel trips. Installation requires standard 12V DC power, a VHF antenna (typically 3 or 6 dB gain marine antennas), and access to your helm console or cabin bulkhead. The UM725 pairs seamlessly with existing marine electronics and meets FCC regulations for Class D marine radio operation in U.S. waters.
