Like its big VHF brother, Standard Horizon’s HX870 is a handheld radio many mariners swear by. It does a reliable job and is versatile enough to work like an extension with GPS chartplotters. For extended coastal boating this radio can almost replace the more powerful fixed VHF models on account of its transmitting power and option for AA batteries.
