The range is limited by the antenna and the output, If you want the most reliable vhf set -up, you will buy a 25 watt radio and a antenna that is rated at a high db spec. Most handhelds can be connected to the higher db antennas at very little cost. Handhelds are wonderful for those with more than 1 boat or with pwcs.
