## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the difference between the standard horizon hx890bk and standard horizon hx890nb two way radio?**
A: I believe the HX890BK is the black one and the HX890NB is the same thing in a navy blue color.

**Q: A range of five miles sounds low.  Is it anyone’s experience that this is adequate?  Is there an extension to the antenna to increase the range?**
A: Five miles is about as good as it gets for a handheld marine handheld.  Note that many manufacturers (not Standard Horizon) puff up there range by claiming a range of dozens of miles from a handheld.  VHF is line of sight communications.  If you are hanging from the crow's nest, you might get greater range but if you are standing on the deck, don't count on it.  HAM radio operators talk with International Space Station astronauts with 2-watt handhelds at a range of 250+ miles because there are no intervening objects.  The same handheld would be lucky to reach a mile on the ground to reach another ground based radio.  Similarly, a 6 watt VHF handheld might reach the moon if there was anyone listening but at sea level your range will be limited to what you can see or less (horizon).  For greater range, use a radio with a pole mounted antenna.

**Q: Does this radio have an emergency DSC call distress button like the units that are mounted in the boat?**
A: Yes, but you require an MMSI number to input for it to operate.

**Q: What is the color of the night time backlight?**
A: Letters and numbers are black, back light is white, both are adjustable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Full Featured
*by R***. on June 12, 2021*

Things I liked.Comes with a replaceable LiPo battery pack good for 10 hours and a second battery adapter that holds five AAA batteries and can be used when the LiPo battery goes dead.Easy to program my MMSI number with lots of Youtube video. By the way, Boat YS members can get a MMSI number free.Man overboard function.DSC scrambled call capability on Chanel 70.Tracks other DSC positions.GPS navigation.Waterproof and floats.Comes with AC and DC charging cables that plug into the charging cradle.Stainless steel charging pins.Charges in 3 hours.Secure belt clip.PDF manuals can be downloaded from the Standard Horizon website.I can't imagine why it has an FM entertainment broadcast receiver?Things I didn't likeThe lanyard is too big to fit into the lanyard hole on the radio case. It will fit into a hole on the belt clip.No software available at the website to support the digital data cable.Bottom LineThis is a quality handheld VHF as good as any you can buy and better than most.If your boat sinks or you fall overboard this radio is capable of broadcasting you GPS location to others. But its range is limited to a few miles on the surface because VHF is line of sight and you will be in the water. It has better range when communicating with rescue aircraft

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent radio.
*by J***. on July 22, 2025*

Excellent radio packed with many features. If you go out on the water you need to take this radio with you.If you get in trouble out there this will get help to you quickly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A lot of radio for the money!
*by K***R on February 3, 2025*

First of all, two words: Standard Horizon. I had one of their stationary models in the nav station of a boat I had for 15 years and it was just a great radio--clear and powerful. I was often able to connect over a distances of 50 miles or more. This hand held appears of the same caliber, albeit with the much lower power and range limits, as allowed in a portable. Among the features I think most impressive: It floats and if you drop it in the water, a strobe beacon is activated. It reads GPS and has a distress button which, if activated, transmits an emergency message with your GPS coordinates and the nature of your emergency which you select from a list--like, "sinking" or "fire" or "medical," etc. Above all, I'm depending on the same rugged reliability as the first one I owned for so many years.
