From Dave Knight: In 2005 I bought an HT640 hand held VHF as a back-up prior to sailing around Ireland. When my main radio failed, I had to rely totally on my handheld Entel radio. I was immediately impressed by its performance, reliability and convenience. A really well thought out and manufactured piece of kit. Three seasons on, it continues to perform flawlessly. Would that all the equipment on the boat was of the same standard. Thank you.
