Standard Horizon HX210 6W Compact Floating Marine Handheld VHF

Reliable marine communication in a compact, floating package

The Standard Horizon HX210 combines a compact, ergonomic case with a powerful 6W handheld VHF transceiver. A high-capacity 1850 mAh Li‑Ion battery keeps the unit light yet long-lasting, and its design lets it float face-up if it slips into the water. Expect a dependable companion on deck, at the pier, or while returning to shore after a long day at sea.

Designed for real-world use, this radio balances performance with ease of use. Its water-activated emergency strobe provides a visual alert when needed, and the strobe can be configured to flash in a simple on/off pattern, SOS mode, or stay on continuously. The HX210 also brings you FM broadcast reception, expanding your listening options when you’re not on a call, from 76 MHz to 108 MHz.
