Standard Horizon’s hand held VHF radio
Standard Horizon’s hand held VHF radio – minus some of its antenna
Standard Horizon has the perfect Christmas present for the water sport enthusiast in the HX280E. The slim, lightweight and waterproof HX280E hand held VHF radio is an extremely affordable gift with plenty of features.
It comes pre-programmed with UK marina channels, has dual watch and user programmable scanning functions and a preset key that allows direct access to 10 channels.
Battery life is critical for a hand-held, so the HX280E is supplied with a 7.4V 1650mAh lithium-ion battery, which can power the radio for 13 hours on a single charge (based on a 5-5-90 duty cycle at 5W). The sizeable orange LCD display features large digits and has the added benefit of five level squelch and battery indicators.
The HX280E is supplied with the antenna, lithium-ion battery, belt clip, AC charger, and a charging cradle. The HX280E is waterproof to IPX7, so can be submerged to one metre for 30 minutes and, as with all Standard Horizon products, is provided with a three-year waterproof guarantee.
The HX280E retails at £109.95 including VAT.
