Handheld VHF Radio Review- Standard Horizon- HX280s

[@denniskarnes8680]

Best $100.00 radio I've ever owned.

[@travelbywater9378]

I don't even think I paid that for it. Think i got it for $90 as a boat show special.

@@travelbywater9378 I bought mine at West Marine on Long Island minutes before hurricane Sandy hit our shores😂😂Maybe they price gouged me😂

How to fix broken vhf ? Can you make video about it. No power when its no plug in to the charger

[@jmancurlymonkegodvr]

Picked mine up at Goodwill for 9 dollars. Everything was still sealed in plastic and had never been used.

[@travelbywater9378]

Thats pretty cool. Im going to start shopping at your Goodwill ;)

I need that lifejacket! Any details please?

[@travelbywater9378]

My life jacket is a "MEC Fulcrum Guide". Yes, it's a very nice life jacket.

Nice haircut, trying to get the subscriptions up? ha How wet have you gotten the radio. I wonder what would happen if I capsized

[@travelbywater9378]

Titus Tiger Completely submerged. I have capsized with it and even jumped in for fun. If you are thinking for your boat, I would consider any model of Standard Horizon in case you swim. Some of the cheaper brands can get trashed pretty easily. The speaker can be a bit garbled when wet. Also, when you get home, it cant hurt to pop the battery off and let everything dry.

thanks-- I looked at their site www.standardhorizon.com/indexVS.cfm?cmd=DisplayProducts&ProdCatID=85&encProdID=8A20187F57E11E685F4BEB4E09111DB3&DivisionID=3&isArchived=0 they say Submersible for 30 minutes for 3.3 feet... but they can say anything thanks

I read a review that a person was upset that when submerged to 4 meters, it leaked. ( a little further than spec) But radios don't work well under water in general.
