receives voice trafﬁc on the Marine,

Aircraft, Family, AM, FM, MURS,

and Aircraft bands. It can transmit on

Marine and Family radio channels.

During a DSC emergency call, it will

transmit the vessel’s MMSI number

and—if configured properly—will

relay position data in lat/long.

HX471S has top-mounted volume

and squelch knobs and a side-mount-

ed pushbutton for push-to-talk and

backlighting. Front-panel pushbut-

tons control transmitter power output

selection, channel changing, weather,

scanning, band choice, and a quick

16. An optional headset, microphone,

or speaker plugs into a jack on the top

of the unit.

The HX471S performed well in our

tests, earning mostly Good ratings.

We noted no problems during the

drop or submersion tests. Battery life

on this radio was rated for 13 hours,

well beyond the manufacturer’s 10-

to 12-hour claim. One thing to keep

in mind: When this radio dies from

a low battery, it is completely dead

and will require a charge before it

will come back to life. Recharge time

on the HX471S is the fastest in the

group—three hours. Battery replace-

ment is $83.

Bottom Line: This radio has a ton

of features packed into a small pack-

age. Performance was middle of the

pack.

West Marine VHF 250

In addition to full marine-band capa-

bilities, the multi-talented VHF 250

can receive signals from the Family

radio, AM, FM, and Aircraft bands.

It can transmit on Family radio chan-

nels too. Other features include a die-

cast metal case and a top-mounted

adapter ready to accept an optional

head set, speaker, or microphone. A

scrambler is optional.

The VHF 250 is controlled with a

pair of top-mounted knobs for on/off/

volume and squelch, as well as seven

front-panel pushbuttons for selecting

the operating band, channels, weath-

er, scanning, or quick 16 or 9. On the

side is an easy-to-operate, push-to-talk

switch and a backlit on-off switch.

Overall performance of the VHF

250 was Good, but the audio system

was weak compared to the competi-

tion. Testing took its toll on this radio.

The internal connection between the

unit and the antenna failed and the

antenna mount was noticeably loose.

In our battery-life test, the VHF 250

lasted 14 hours, well beyond its 10-

hour claim.

Bottom Line: Lots of features in a

reasonably priced package. A weak

antenna mount holds this one back.

Conclusions

In this price range, you have plenty

of options when choosing a handheld

VHF. No unit stands out as a clear win-

ner in every category. Certain radios

excel in particular areas, while others

provide all-around good service.

We rated the Standard Horizon

HX600S our top pick because it per-

formed well—with no hiccups—and

had a bevy of added features, includ-

ing the ability to listen on several

voice bands and transmit a DSC call

in an emergency. It is certainly not

the smallest, lightest, or least expen-

sive handheld out there, but when

viewed as an overall package we

think it’s the best.

If you’re looking for a radio with the

longest battery life, we’d opt for an Icom

radio, either the IC-M72 or the IC-M88.

Both had plenty of juice left at the end

of our grueling battery life test. Tech-

nology enthusiasts trying to stay on the

edge should look at the Standard Hori-

zon HX471S. It packs all the features

one could want into the smallest and

lightest package we’ve tested.

side of the Ray101 was harder to press

than any other test radio’s button.
