This totally solid-state radio costs $49 per chan- nel. Other marine transceivers cost from $55 to $400 per channel. And even the $400-per-channel unit can't match the MR-201 feature for feature.

Features: • all authorized marine channels • all public correspondence channels • totally solid state • plug-in, glass epoxy circuit cards • remote control • frequency synthesizer which derives all fre- quencies from one frequency standard

The MR-201 is type-accepted by the Federal
