Uniden UM435 White VHF Class D DSC 25 Watt

The Uniden UM435 White VHF Class D DSC 25 Watt marine radio is purpose-built for recreational boaters, commercial operators, and coastal anglers who demand reliable communication on the water. Whether you're running offshore for tuna, anchored in a busy anchorage, or navigating narrow channels, this fixed-mount VHF radio delivers crystal-clear transmission across all USA, International, and Canadian marine channels—including the newer 4-digit channels and Canadian "B" designations. Class D DSC (Digital Selective Calling) capability means distress signals can be transmitted with a single button press, adding a critical safety layer to any vessel.

The UM435 features selectable 1-watt and 25-watt transmit power modes, allowing you to conserve battery on shorter-range communications while maintaining full legal output for distance coverage when needed. Its IPX8/JIS8 submersible rating means the radio can survive splashing, spray, and even brief immersion—essential protection in a marine environment where salt water, humidity, and rough seas are constants. The compact white housing integrates seamlessly into modern console layouts, while the full-featured control panel puts channel selection, volume, and emergency functions within easy reach even during rough conditions or low-light operation.

This radio suits both saltwater and freshwater boaters, from day-trip anglers to liveaboards who rely on constant maritime band access for weather updates, bridge coordination, and emergency communication. Installation is straightforward for any vessel with a standard power supply (12 or 24 volt DC systems); mounting hardware and a compact footprint make it ideal for center consoles, pilothouse cabins, and small cruising vessels where space is at a premium. The Uniden UM435 remains one of the most trusted fixed-mount marine radios in the industry, combining proven DSC technology with user-friendly operation that boaters of all experience levels can master in minutes.
