Imagine the infomercial for
the world’s greatest handheld VHF radio.

It dices! It slices!

It even floats!

Well, it doesn’t dice and slice.

But it floats.

Standard Horizon has introduced three different models of floating handheld VHF radios.

But wait! There’s more!

Built to be rugged, they can withstand both a dunk in the drink and a drop on the deck, the company says.

All come with some of the same features, including: 6-watt operation, transmitting farther and clearer than many other handhelds with 5-watt operation, the company says; a water temperature sensor; progressive scan; programmable scan; dual watch, allowing two channels to be monitored at once; an 1,150 milli-amp-hour lithium-ion battery; a drop-in cradle battery charger for both 110-volt AC and 12-volt DC; an ergonomic shape; a diecast chassis; and one-hand operation.

But the models also include unique features. For example, one includes a wireless handset for hand-free communication, and another includes Digital Selective Calls (DSC), a type of phone call to other DSC-equipped radios, including a distress call to emergency personnel that transmits your GPS position.
