FLOATING HANDHELD WITH VHF/DSC

tandard Horizon’s HX890 handheld packs a lot of technology into a small package, including DSC and 66-channel WAAS GPS. It’s available in black or Navy Blue and not only floats, but is equipped with a water-activated strobe, providing an extra measure of safety, especially when, say, out in a RIB after dark. Other features include a pair of built-in scrambler systems for secure communications; a built-in FM receiver for listening to music or catching a game while relaxing
