Standard Horizon HX320

Yes, the radio is designed to float. If it goes overboard, it will remain on the surface, and its water-activated emergency strobe will automatically trigger to help you locate it in low-light conditions.

You can expect up to 17 hours of operating time on a full charge. This makes it reliable for long days on the water without needing to worry about carrying a spare battery.

Yes, the HX320 features a convenient USB-C charging port. This allows you to charge it using the same cables you likely use for other modern electronics, rather than needing a proprietary charging cradle.

An IPX7 rating means the radio is fully submersible in up to one meter of water for up to 30 minutes. It is built to handle accidental drops into the water or heavy spray without compromising its internal electronics.

The radio features a 700mW audio output, which is designed to be loud and clear. While it performs well in typical marine environments, it is significantly more powerful than many smaller, entry-level handheld radios.

Yes, it includes dedicated NOAA weather channels and a weather alert scan function. This ensures you can receive critical safety warnings and forecasts directly on your device.
