The Uniden UM725 in black is the base model of the UM725 line: a fixed-mount marine VHF for permanent helm installation, without the built-in GPS or Bluetooth of the higher UM725 versions. It is the choice when your boat already has a GPS source or you want the simplest version of the platform.

Who it’s for

  • Boats that already have a chartplotter or GPS on board
  • Owners replacing an older fixed-mount VHF on a budget
  • Dark helms where a black radio matches the rest of the electronics

Key features

  • Fixed-mount marine VHF for primary onboard communication
  • Black housing
  • No built-in GPS or Bluetooth; see the UM725G and UM725GBT versions if you want those

Setup tips

  • Register an MMSI before first use. DSC distress calls only identify your boat if an MMSI number is programmed into the radio. Recreational boaters in U.S. waters can get one free from BoatUS, Sea Tow, or the U.S. Power Squadrons; boats traveling internationally need one through the FCC.
  • Range comes from the antenna. VHF is line-of-sight, so antenna height and good coax matter more than anything else. See our VHF antenna guide.
  • Know your channels. Channel 16 is for hailing and distress, Channel 70 carries DSC data only, and the WX channels carry NOAA weather. See the VHF channel guide.

Before ordering

Confirm radio dimensions, 12V supply, antenna and coax requirements, and how your boat will provide GPS position for DSC calls if you want position sent with a distress alert.
