For environmental applications that require an intrinsically safe radio, Standard

Communications meets your requirements with the HX220AS or the

HX340.

Two radios so tough, they meet or exceed Mil

Spec SI 01) and.M.S. standards for water integrity. Both constructed using a high impact, non-corrosive polycarbonate case, water resistant gasketing, and gold battery contacts to ensure maximum corrosion resistance.

The six watt HX220AS is the most powerful, intrinsically safe marine handheld you can buy.

It's also the easiest to use, even with gloves on.

This radio offers programmable scanning, with one-touch channel selection to all available channels.

The HX340 is available in both UHF or VHF at five watts. With eight channel capability, channels 6 and 16 are included on the VHF.

The UHF provides four of the most commonly used UHF frequencies in the 450 MHz range. For that extra measure of security, the HX340 features a low battery warning light. f 3 Year T.
