Hi Pupu take care that it has the CE mark on it and the certificate of declaration with it because it will not be allowed it Malta . I have had that experions myself with one of these cobra vhf witch I tryed to import to Malta but had to send it back.

went to agent of cobra and got told the same thing, so what mark you need, to know if its good for malta

It has to be CE approved and has international channels not USA channels. Best to do is to print a copy of the VHF model with specifications and ask at customs.

Instead of customs, it is better to ask the Malta Communications Authority. Attached are questions and answers re. the VHF issued by the MCA (the document is in Maltese). I think it answers your questions..

I suggest that if there is only a small difference if bought from White Sails, you talk to them and maybe get a discount. At White Sails they offer a very good after sales service.

My President VHF bought from Mecca last year is really what i had been expecting from a VHF, sleek clear and easy to use. Highly recomanded have also connacted it to my GPS.

whats the price of a fixed unit

benri · March 29, 2009, 19:09:10 CET

if the boat is the same, you can use the same msi number. the msi number belongs to the boat not the radio.

If its the Cobra MR F55 EU (DSC) set its the same as mine, & fully compliant with EU regulations,

I have a VHF licence & the set has been declared to OFCOM in the UK & an MMSI number & callsign have been issued to me. They are a very popular set back here & they are at a reasonable price as well (well they were when I bought mine). There was a Declaration of Conformity in the box with mine, & it has a CE Marking of CE0682
