DSC-Handheld Radio HX890E / navy blue

Everything included! At a good price. ATIS and DSC in one handheld radio - for this price? A few years ago it was unimaginable! If you like to get lost in small menus and don't have too fat fingers, if you don't shy away from contact with technology and like to activate this or that feature, you've come to the right place! Everyone else, however, for whom menus and settings and sub-settings are a horror, prefer to buy a "normal" handheld radio. Switch on - and done. They then do DSC - if at all - with the main unit in the boat. But, for example, on dinghies or other boats without their own power supply or antenna option, this device is the big hit! You have all the blessings of the DSC! For example, large range with digital transmission despite low power. You'll always be heard... Well, I'm very satisfied. At first, the only thing that confused me was the switch from DSC to ATIS. This can be set more clearly and logically in terms of software than here...

Handheld VHF with DSC This is an outstanding feature packed backup to my fixed VHF. The ability to connect a fist mike and DSC makes this a fantastic safety addition on my boat. I have recommended this radio to others - I may even swap my fixed Lowrance VHF for a Standard Horizon VHF.

Handy - Valuable - Good It fits well in the hand and is of high quality. The menu controls are logical and intuitive for me. Everything was easy to set up. The device will be used primarily in the cockpit, so I don't always have to go below deck to use the radio. It makes calling the marineros easier and ensures safe travel in the marina. The performance is perfect for this. It is also used for trips in the dinghy to keep in touch with the mother ship. No worries, as it floats and is waterproof.

Top handheld device

I really like the device. It is very robustly built and of high quality. So far I have only drained the battery within a day, even when using it at regattas (race management). Setting up the MMSI and ATIS with the up and down buttons is a bit fiddly and time-consuming, but only once. You have to read up on certain operations in the manual - I would deduct a point here - but after a short time getting used to how it works, it becomes automatic.
