hand held marine radio/vhf

Hey Thanks,
That gives me some good direction. Does the antenna ever get in the way? It’s hard to see in those pictures.

S.H. radio suggestions
Thanks for the kind words, Peter.



If Phij bought the HX460-S, there is a drop-in cradle available for it as an accessory. Both the standard wall charger and the car charger can be used with the cradle. IIRC, the same cradle works with the HX470/471 too, but I’m not sure if it works with any other S.H. models.

I’ve never had an antenna problem

I guess the question is: Is it better to have it close to your head where it's less likely to snag on something but more likely to poke you in the head? I don't recall ever being poked by my antenna, so I guess that's really not an issue, so I would be more concerned about snagging on other other objects. Ease of use is an even bigger concern and I find that the left shoulder feels more "natural" to me. Once you modify the mounting clip, it's a simple matter to try the radio on both shoulders to see what works best for you. Go with whatever you like best.
