The best VHF we can offer you
Standard Horizon manufactures some of the best in maritime communications equipment. Since we are not installers but resellers, on this page we offer the HX890E VHF transceiver that we have tested and used daily in our professional activities.
Top of the range of the house, Standard Horizon, HX890E is the floating portable VHF radio with IPX8 waterproofing, 6 Watts of power, Class H DSC with GPS.
Of robust military construction certified MIL-STD-810F, it is not only floating (so if it falls into the water it is easily recoverable), but it is also submersible at a depth of 1.5m for 30 minutes (so if it falls into the sea with the transceiver on your belt or in your pocket, nothing happens and you can even use it to call the boat).
Its large 43.2 x 43.2mm display for easy and intuitive use and is equipped with the night view mode.
Comes with 1800mAh lithium battery, AC and DC chargers and dry battery pack.
