AT LAST - What we've all been waiting for - the UK's first fully approved Marine Handheld VHF radio that incorporates both GPS and DSC functions.
A great device for the smaller boat for communications, navigation and safety, and a compelling 'must have' for emergency use on the larger boat.
Fully submersible and floating so use in poor conditions is NOT a problem to the HX851 - in fact it even has a water activated strobe light.
