VHF HX320E

Optimum communication

The HX320E VHF delivers 6W of transmit power, ideal for communicating with other boats in the vicinity. This transmitting power can also be reduced to 2W or 1W, to save battery life on short crossings.

Its high-capacity 2100mAh lithium-ion battery will give you up to 17 hours of communication thanks to its exceptional autonomy.

In terms of reception, the 700mW sound output power means you can hear perfectly, even in noisy cabins or on deck with the sound of the waves. Radio messages remain clear in all situations.

Its Bluetooth function means it can be used with a wireless headset (optional) to keep your hands free.

A waterproof, buoyant VHF

Thanks to its advanced IPX7 waterproof certification, the VHF HX320E can be submerged to a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes. Its connectors and cavities are protected by waterproof rubber plugs. Even when your hands are wet, the push-buttons will continue to function normally.

But that's not all! In the event of a delicate situation, such as an accidental fall overboard, the HX320E has been designed to float on the surface of the water. Its solid, hard-wearing shell ensures that it won't sink, allowing you to recover it easily if necessary.

Another major advantage: as soon as the radio comes into contact with water, even when switched off, its "Light Strobe" function is automatically activated. A powerful flashing light then begins to shine in all directions, making it much easier for rescue teams to locate you, even at night or in fog.

Easy to use

With its sunlight-readable LCD display and carefully designed ergonomics, it's very intuitive to use. Its direct access to distress channel 16 on the side of the VHF makes it an invaluable ally for your safety at sea and on lakes and rivers. Supplied with belt clip and wrist strap, it's always close at hand.

USB-C rechargeable VHF

The HX320E VHF integrates USB-C charging behind a small, watertight hatch on the side of the unit, the modern port now found on most devices. The practical USB cable supplied allows you to recharge the battery directly from any available USB port, be it a computer, wall charger or external battery.

A waterproof wall charger is also included, for use in your cabin or cockpit. Simply place your VHF on it between uses, while the battery recovers its full capacity. This way, your communications will remain optimal throughout your nautical outings.
