Standard HX400 5W Handheld VHF With CMP460 Speaker Microphone

The Standard HX400 5W Handheld VHF With CMP460 Speaker Microphone is the marine radio choice for serious boaters who demand reliable deck-to-shore and boat-to-boat communication in all conditions. Built for anglers, commercial operators, and recreational captains who spend extended hours on the water, this handheld VHF transceiver delivers crystal-clear audio and dependable range when safety and coordination matter most. Whether you're coordinating with your fishing fleet, calling the Coast Guard in an emergency, or maintaining contact with the marina, the HX400 bundle provides the portable communication platform that working boaters trust.

Operating at 5 watts of RF output power, the Standard HX400 delivers impressive range across open water—typically 10–15 nautical miles depending on antenna height and atmospheric conditions. The included CMP460 speaker microphone provides a secure, accessible control point that keeps your hands free for boat handling while maintaining full two-way communication on all 16 VHF marine channels plus international frequencies. Its compact, durable design withstands salt spray, moisture, and the rigorous environment of working vessels, while the intuitive channel selector and push-to-talk interface ensure rapid response when seconds count.

This handheld VHF with the CMP460 speaker microphone bundle is ideal for captains who need a standalone or backup radio system for fishing boats, center consoles, cruisers, and commercial vessels operating in coastal and inland waters. The weatherproof construction and IP-rated sealing make it equally effective on the flying bridge in rough seas or in the wheelhouse during extended missions. Its compact footprint and included speaker microphone eliminate the need for permanent installation or additional mounting hardware, making it the go-to choice for skippers who value portability, reliability, and rapid deployment.
