Product Overview
The Standard Horizon HX320E VHF Marine Radio is a rugged, floating handheld VHF designed to provide dependable communications on the water. Compact and straightforward to operate, it combines powerful marine VHF performance with a waterproof construction, Bluetooth connectivity and convenient USB-C charging.
Built for use aboard sailing boats, motorboats, RIBs and other marine vessels, the HX320E has an IPX7 waterproof rating and is designed to float if accidentally dropped overboard. A water-activated emergency strobe light automatically illuminates when the radio comes into contact with water, making it much easier to locate and recover in poor light or challenging conditions.
Transmit power is selectable up to 6W with lower 2.5W and 1W settings available to help conserve battery life. A powerful 700mW internal speaker provides clear audio in noisy marine environments, while the large dot-matrix display keeps important channel and radio information easy to read.
Built-in Bluetooth connectivity enables wireless hands-free operation with a compatible headset, while the integrated battery provides up to 17 hours of operating time. USB-C charging also means the HX320E can be conveniently recharged using widely available power sources on board or while travelling.
