Standard Horizon HX400IS Handheld VHF - Intrinsically Safe
The HX400IS is a commercial-grade handheld marine VHF built for demanding onboard and workboat environments where a rugged, submersible radio is important.
Best fit
- Commercial and workboat communication
- Backup VHF communication on recreational boats
- Docks, tenders, crews, and harsh marine environments
Key features
- Selectable 5-watt or 1-watt transmit power
- IPX8 submersible rating: 1.5 m (4.92 ft) for 30 minutes
- 2550 mAh lithium-ion battery
- AC and DC 3-hour quick chargers included
- Speaker-microphone jack
- 40 dealer-programmable Land Mobile Radio channels with CTCSS and DCS signaling
- Built-in noise-canceling microphone and voice scrambler
- High-visibility LED distress strobe
Before ordering
Confirm that the HX400IS matches your operating requirements and any channel-programming needs. Charge the radio before trips and keep it readily accessible. On larger boats, a handheld VHF is best treated as a backup layer rather than a replacement for a properly installed fixed-mount VHF and antenna.
