Standard Horizon HX891BT Handheld VHF with Bluetooth

The Standard Horizon HX891BT is a feature-rich floating handheld VHF designed for boaters who want Bluetooth hands-free capability along with integrated navigation and DSC functions. Its ergonomic housing has been tested to MIL-STD-810F standards, and the radio is designed for demanding marine use where durability and dependable communications are important.

Bluetooth is particularly useful when a compatible hands-free setup is preferred during docking or other tasks that keep both hands occupied. Built-in GPS supports waypoint and route navigation as well as position-related DSC functions, while Group Monitor uses DSC group position calls to help compatible users keep track of other boats in a group.

The HX891BT also includes two built-in voice-scrambler systems, selectable daytime and nighttime display modes, and an FM broadcast receiver. The package is unusually complete, with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, alkaline battery tray, charging cradle, wall charger, 220V adapter, 12V charger, PC programming cable, belt clip, and lanyard.
