Since many years Midland offers portable VHF marine radio’s. Most of their models looked like cheap PMR446 radio’s.
The new Midland ARCTIC has the look and the feel of a real professional VHF marine radio. With a consumer price around Euro 150 -175 we think there is a good market for Midland.
The only comment I have is the lack of ATIS. In The Netherlands and some other European countries ATIS is a ‘need’. Now the sales market is limited to those countries that do NOT have a need for ATIS and for boats with international vhf marine use.
