Standard HX400IS Intrinsically Safe VHF With CMP460

The Standard HX400IS Intrinsically Safe VHF With CMP460 is the go-to marine radio for anglers and boaters who demand reliability in hazardous or explosive environments. Whether you're operating near fuel docks, in confined engine compartments, or around flammable cargo, this intrinsically safe certified unit keeps you connected without compromising safety. The HX400IS bundle includes the CMP460 compact microphone, delivering professional-grade communications in a package built for serious water operators who refuse to cut corners on dependability.

What sets this radio apart is its intrinsically safe (IS) certification—a rigorous standard that limits electrical and thermal energy to prevent ignition in hazardous atmospheres. The compact design weighs just 3 pounds, making it ideal for tight helm spaces where a traditional fixed-mount VHF would be cumbersome. The included CMP460 microphone is rugged and ergonomic, with tactile controls that work smoothly even in rough seas or with gloved hands. Standard's engineering ensures crystal-clear transmission across all 16 international and U.S. VHF channels, critical when you need to reach Coast Guard, other vessels, or emergency services instantly.

This unit is essential for commercial fishing operators, fuel transfer crews, charter captains, and anyone working near petroleum or chemical environments where standard electronics are prohibited. The HX400IS integrates seamlessly into existing marine electrical systems and meets all FCC and USCG requirements for maritime safety. If you operate in regulated waters or hazardous zones, or simply want the peace of mind that comes with certified intrinsically safe equipment, the Standard HX400IS With CMP460 is an investment in both safety and reliable communication that will serve you for years of hard use on the water.
