Selected User Reviews For Standard Horizon HX210 Handheld VHF Radio,black
It's best to avoid buying this radio if you read the reviews. It has been less than a week since I started using this radio, and the screen has locked up. I cannot press any of the buttons, receive or transmit, or turn off the radio to reboot it. It is now effectively useless to use the radio. This problem appears to be a software issue there may be a bad batch of radios up for grabs, or maybe all of them are The radio I bought from Standard Horizon was to be used at a remote wilderness site, but its performance has been disappointing, not what you would expect from a big name brand like that.
It's well worth the price. There is a major river close by and the coast is about 15 miles away. I had no problem picking up river traffic as well as Coast Guard traffic along with some The instructions aren't bad, but you can also use them to copy. While a hurricane is underway, I can access the weather information and FM channels.
The idea is neat, but I'm not convinced it is practical. My problem is that I can hear the VHF traffic, I can listen to the radio, but I cannot receive any responses on the channels. Although I thought it might be due to my location, I had the same experience in the Florida keys less than 100 yards from the I think that if radio cannot radio check nor hail sea tow from that close to shore in the Florida keys, it might not be able to hail anywhere else.
Page 6 of the operations manual contains a printing error that contributes to settings to enable auto squelch being frustrating. I continue to wait for S&T to provide me with a stipend I have given him a pat on the back for finding the reason behind bad reviews of a great product. Your local charity will appreciate your donation.
Having a radio that is longer lasting between charges is good. I bought this to work offshore. (In two to three days if you turn it off when it's not in use. ) Powered by either water or a manual switch, the light can be turned on manually or automatically. Aside from the variable power options, I also like them. A remote mic would have been a better purchase. That's what I'm going with.
It only took four months after purchase for the radio unit to stop charging. The seller won't compensate the buyer for postage costs when the item is returned for repairs. It would be difficult to do business with a company that is not reliable.
pleased with the results! This is an excellent value for the price. I see it as well built with a lot of features only found in the best. I haven't tested it on the water yet I will in the future. I am very optimistic about the future, but my expectations are very A single thing I noticed is the size of the 'footprint' of the radio is oversized for my average size hand. I definitely recommend this product.
Radio that is nice for the price. I use it a lot on the FM band. An extended battery life is an advantage.
