At Deltron we understand how important communication on the water is. Handheld VHF radios, also called handheld VHF radios, offer a range of benefits for both recreational and professional water sports enthusiasts. These portable devices are essential for safety and convenience, especially when out and about on open waters.
Advantages of Handheld VHF Radios
- Handheld VHF radios are lightweight and do not need to be built in, meaning you can easily take them with you and use them straight away. Make sure you first enter an ATIS code, which you can request from the Telecom Agency with your basic maritime radio certificate.
Safety in Emergency Situations:
- A handheld VHF radio is crucial for emergency calls on open water. In an emergency, such as leaving a sinking ship for a life raft, you can easily take the VHF radio with you to communicate with rescue services.
Durability and Weather Resistance:
- Designed to withstand the harsh conditions of the sea, many handheld VHF radios float if dropped in water. They are built to perform in a variety of weather conditions.
Easy operation:
- Handheld VHF radios are easy to operate with logically arranged buttons, even with (sailing) gloves on. This makes them very user-friendly under all circumstances.
Built-in GPS Function:
- Some models are equipped with a built-in GPS, which provides additional navigation support. Having your GPS location immediately available is very important when calling emergency services.
Affordability:
Handheld VHF radios are often attractive in terms of price. Even with a limited budget, you can purchase an excellent marine radio that meets your needs.
Additional Features:
Modern handheld marine radios may have additional features such as Bluetooth connectivity. This allows you to pair your smartphone and take incoming calls via the waterproof VHF radio, which is especially useful in challenging weather conditions.
