Hi. You'll find that difficult to get as the Ni-cad technology is pretty much obsolete.
You could rebuild the battery pack with equivalent sized Ni-MH cells if you can get into it or look for the Alkaline battery holder (GHDZ34956Z) and use rechargeable cells in that. Maybe contact Uniden directly.
Not recommended, but is you can rig up your radio to work off an outdoor antenna, roof mounted or tower, then that would most certainly extend the range for your radio.
We have a Uniden Oceanus DSC, which we bought as an upgrade for our MC-620. It has been my experience (20 years as a broadcast engineer) that reception issues are almost ALWAYS caused by the antenna. Antenna location is the easiest to fix, VHF being line-of-sight, HIGHER is better. We have our antenna on top of the mast (40' above the surface of the water). It has been my experience as well that Uniden products are very nearly bulletproof and RARELY need servicing. I'd concentrate mainly on checking your antenna installation.
Uniden will sell you a service manual, but they are indeed SPENDY. (Over $100US) Which is JUST about what your radio costs new.
Sorry I couldn't have been the bearer of better news. -Steve
Try a new antenna first. If you have the same results and the PL259 connector is the solder type and it is soldered properly then I would take the radio to a test shop for them to test.
Marine two way radios operate on 156 MGZ. You have to use an antenna desinated for that purpose. Type marine vhf antenna on google search and it will pop-up lots of web sites.good luck
