Standard Horizon HX400IS Intrinsically Safe Handheld VHF Radio – 5 W

The Standard Horizon HX400IS is a commercial-grade, intrinsically safe handheld VHF radio engineered for professionals and serious boaters working in demanding or hazardous environments where safety and reliable communication are essential. Built to rigorous standards, this robust radio offers dependable performance on the water or in industrial settings with expanded channel support and rugged waterproof construction. 

Designed to withstand harsh conditions, the HX400IS is intrinsically safe, making it suitable for use in environments with potential ignition hazards. Its IPX8 waterproof rating allows full submersion up to 1.5 m (4.9 ft) for 30 minutes without compromise. The radio delivers selectable 5 W or 1 W transmit power, giving you flexibility to balance range and battery life. 

Equipped with a built-in noise-canceling microphone, this handheld provides clear communication even in noisy conditions. The integrated voice scrambler enhances privacy when communicating with compatible devices. It supports marine channels (USA, International, Canadian) right out of the box, plus 40 programmable Land Mobile Radio (LMR) channels (134 – 174 MHz) with CTCSS/DCS signaling for commercial or industrial band use when appropriately licensed and programmed by a dealer. 

Additional features include NOAA weather channels with alert, programmable scan functions, Priority Watch, Dual Watch, and Tri-Watch, a preset key for recalling up to 10 favorite channels, programmable channel names, and a key lock to prevent accidental changes. The radio is supplied with a high-capacity Li-Ion battery and chargers, ensuring long operating life and rapid recharge.

Additionally, only approved IS-rated accessories (such as the CMP460 or SSM-14A speaker mics) should be connected while in hazardous areas. Charging should only occur in non-hazardous locations.


The Standard Horizon HX400IS Intrinsically Safe Handheld VHF is an excellent choice for marine operators, commercial fleets, dock crews, safety teams, and industrial users who require a reliable, rugged communication tool that excels in demanding and potentially hazardous conditions.
