Can you use it on land at home

As of September 2016, the FCC now permits the limited use of handheld VHF radios ashore to communicate with a vessel offshore. Use must be in (or near) areas of maritime and boating activity and within three miles of the water. Communications using such radios must relate to the operational and business needs of the associated vessel and must be limited to the minimal practicable transmission time. Use must follow standard VHF operations protocol. The FCC has reasoned this decision will encourage more boaters to carry a VHF radio. FCC 16-119, 80.115(a)(2).

Could battery be used as backup

It comes with built in battery. There is no spare battery for this radio. Thus, it has to be charged before from time to time.

How fair does it reach out to

depends on the weather, usually 6w about 5mi max

Does the charging cradle that comes with it run on dc or ac? i would like to charge it and leave it on in the cradle while on the boat.

BOTH. it comes with a 12V DC adapter for the charger-base. if you have a 12V (cigar) plug on your boat, just plug it right in; or snip the end and hard-wire it.
