The frequency for channel 3 is not found on mine due to it being set to USA channels. If you switch to international (INT) in the channel settings, you will have 3 options.
Selected User Reviews For Icom M330-11 VHF Radio Fixed Mount Black
In attempting to find a fixed mounted vhf marine radio with built in GPS, this phone came up, price looked good, I did not read everything, my mistake, this phone has no built in GPS, it needs to be connected to something with one. There is no indication of this either in the instructions. As a result of trying to figure it all out, my MMSI is now in the radio and cannot be removed. My original intention was NOT to settle for this, but I'm left with no choice. The situation does not make me happy in the least. Don't buy if you want something with a GPS built in.
Since I began boating a number of years ago, this is my fourth VHF boat radio purchase. Note that all the different brands (of modern design) do essentially There was so much more on the last cheaper radio I bought weather, DSC, scanning, priority interrupt, etc. The last cheaper radio I bought lasted less than five months before it fried (despite being "submersible to 1m"). I will pay a little more for a name brand I have used in the past, which has never let me down.
This was the first time I had used these, and I found that they worked pretty well. We haven't tested the range too much but in a busy area with houses, trees, and fields we were able to communicate at a distance of 2 miles (on the side/top of a mountain it worked fine).
As described, this model does not work as a standalone unit, but you might think it does because it has a stand alone unit. This is one of the coolest gadgets ever. It is compact, it brings in weak signals well, it is crisp when you transmit, and all the other features are great. I really like it and I found the installation to be easy. If I had the chance, I would again buy it.
We bought the M330 off of Amazon. This is the first mistake I made. It has been five weeks since the speaker To make matters worse, I was told to send it into icom for service or to take it to a local dealer and lie about where I did not purchase any electronics through Amazon last time. The car will be brought to a local dealer who will back it up.
I am very happy with this product and the My sincere thanks go out to you.
This is good enough for me. The radio has a nice VHF frequency and is relatively cheap. Easy to install and use, very happy with it.
