Standard Horizon HX380 5W IPX7 Submersible Handheld VHF

The Standard Horizon HX380 is a commercial-grade handheld VHF built for marine users who need a rugged radio with both marine-channel coverage and programmable land-mobile capability. It provides selectable 5- or 1-watt transmit power and exceeds the IPX7 waterproof standard, with submersion protection to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes.

The radio covers USA, International, and Canadian marine channels and can be programmed with up to 40 land-mobile channels from 134 to 174 MHz using CTCSS and DCS signaling. Programmable Scan, Priority Scan, Dual Watch, TRI Watch, programmable channel names, NOAA weather channels, and weather alerts give operators several ways to organize and monitor communications.

A 1600mAh lithium-ion battery provides more than 13 hours of use based on a 5/5/90 duty cycle. Standard equipment includes the battery, heavy-duty belt clip, 110 VAC charger, 12 VDC charger, and drop-in charging cradle, making the HX380 ready for regular commercial or recreational marine use.
