Standard HX320 6W Floating Hand Held VHF

The Standard HX320 6W Floating Hand Held VHF is purpose-built for recreational and commercial mariners who demand reliable communication in challenging water conditions. Whether you're fishing offshore, cruising coastal waters, or coordinating with other vessels, this compact marine transceiver delivers crystal-clear VHF transmission at 6 watts of power—sufficient for point-to-point communication over several nautical miles depending on antenna height and atmospheric conditions. The flotation design ensures your radio stays afloat and recoverable if accidentally dropped overboard, a critical safety feature when working solo or in rough seas.

Built with an IPX7 waterproof rating, the HX320 survives submersion to 3.3 feet for up to 30 minutes, protecting internal components from spray, rain, and saltwater exposure common on the water. The wireless Bluetooth operation streamlines hands-free communication when paired with compatible headsets or marine intercom systems, reducing fumbling with cables during critical moments. USB Type-C charging keeps the battery topped off between trips, eliminating the need for proprietary chargers. At just 2 pounds, this handheld VHF remains light enough for extended wear on a lanyard without fatigue, while the compact form factor fits easily into tackle boxes, boat cabins, or dry bags alongside your other marine safety gear.

Serious anglers, liveaboard cruisers, and charter operators rely on the Standard HX320 as a redundant communication backup and primary VHF solution on smaller vessels where space is limited. The combination of floating capability, waterproof construction, and Bluetooth integration makes it ideal for situations where traditional fixed-mount VHF radios are impractical. Keep one on the bridge, one in the tackle locker, and one in your safety kit—redundancy saves lives on the water.
