| | | Standard Horizon's new HX350AS is no ordinary 5 watt portable vhf. This incredibly rugged radio is submersible! And it has all the essential operational features that any crew could ask for. Intrinsically Safe The HX350AS handheld with CNB350AS battery pack, and the optional noise-canceling waterproof marine speaker microphone, model CMP350 meet the requirements of ANS/UL 913-88 for Division 1, Class 1, Groups C & D, Class ll, Groups E,F&G,and Class lll hazardous locations. Rugged Durable Construction Building a submersible radio for the professional user is no simple task! Horizon utilizes a high impact non-corrosive case, display lens, water proof gasketing and shock tested PCB's. Engineered for unparalleled durability and reliability, the Horizon HX350AS exceeds J.I.S. Standards for WATERPROOFNESS at one meter for thirty minutes continuous. A cold, wet, slippery hand is no problem with HX350AS because of rugged rubber armored grips that also protect the radio from water and physical damage. Feel the location and action of the PTT while noticing the additional armoring around the controls and display. Simple and Logical A whopping 1100mAh NiCad battery is standard equipment on HX350AS, providing an incredible 10 hour duty cycle. Additionally, an easy to see battery shaped flag on the LCD works like a dynamic "gas gauge" indicating relative time remaining. Easy visibility is made possible by a large LCD window with tall, wide digits and bold information flags that are easy to identify. The LCD and keypad are backlit for best visibility at night. The HX350AS has all the marine VHF channels, direct one button access to channels 9 and 16, direct access to two custom preset channels, all weather channels, and NOAA weather alert. User-programmable scanning can be set with or without a priority channel of choice. The HX350AS package comes with a 110VAC boat charger. The optional CMP350 external waterproof noise-canceling microphone also meets the same intrinsically safe ratings as the HX350AS.

If your radio fails for any reason, including water damage, during normal use in the first three years, Horizon will repair or replace it without hassle or charges.
