Certified Used - Standard Horizon HX890E

The Standard Horizon HX890E is a feature-rich handheld marine VHF radio designed for boaters who need dependable communications and advanced safety features on the water. This certified used unit combines 6W transmit power, integrated GPS positioning, DSC distress calling, and floating waterproof construction in a rugged handheld package. Built for coastal cruising, offshore passages, fishing trips, and watersports, the HX890E provides reliable vessel-to-vessel and vessel-to-shore communications while offering enhanced safety through its integrated GPS and Class H DSC functionality. In an emergency, the dedicated DSC distress feature can transmit your position and identification information to nearby vessels and rescue services when connected to a registered MMSI. The integrated GPS receiver supports waypoint and route navigation directly from the handset, allowing you to save locations, navigate to waypoints, and utilise man overboard (MOB) functions without requiring a separate GPS device. The large full-dot matrix display remains easy to read in bright daylight and low-light conditions thanks to selectable day and night display modes. Designed specifically for marine environments, the HX890E floats if dropped overboard and automatically activates a high-intensity emergency strobe light to aid recovery. Its IPX8 waterproof rating and MIL-STD-810F rugged construction help ensure reliable operation in challenging conditions. Whether used as a primary communication device on smaller vessels or as a backup radio on larger boats, the HX890E delivers an impressive combination of safety, navigation, and communication features in a single handheld unit.
