Simrad HS40 Handset
Best wireless handset for boaters needing flexible, remote VHF radio control.
This handset untethers your VHF radio, giving you full command of calls and distress functions from anywhere on deck. You sacrifice the tactile reliability of a wired connection, but the freedom to coordinate your crew or manage channels while moving about the boat is a massive upgrade in utility.
