Ultimate Marine Radio

This handheld marine radio is a game changer! Thanks to my knowledge gained in practice, I can say that this radio is top-notch. It has a long-lasting battery life and a clear and crisp signal that can be relied on in any emergency SITUATION... The compact and lightweight design makes it easy to carry around, and the waterproof and dustproof body ensures it can withstand any marine environment. The only downside is that the buttons can be a bit small to navigate. But overall the Standard…

Pros
  • Waterproof and submersible for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1.5 meters
Cons
  • Not as compact as some other handheld radios on the market

Great Radio - Marine Electronics

Better radio than I expected. It is loaded with so many features. It's easy to set up. The speaker sound is very clear. I really like the GPS DSC option. There are several videos online to help you learn more about the HX890. It feels very well made and feels good in the hand. What it lacks is the ability to charge without a stand. I love that it comes with a 12v boat adapter, but you still need to bring your charging cradle. I'll order another one and leave it on the boat. Overall I would say…

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • old
