Great Handheld VHF May 13, 2013
Reviewer: Papa Joe from Great Lakes to the Florida Keys  
Purchased this radio for our Boston Whaler 15 Montauk and it works perfectly in Lake Michigan, Kentucky Lake, Lake Cumberland, and in the Florida Keys. Crystal clear reception and that extra 6 watt punch make for a nice package. You can't go wrong with this radio. Highly recommended.

Standard HX851 May 11, 2013
Reviewer: Mike Pfetsch from Silver Spring, MD  
I have not yet had the opportunity to field test this radio in marine operation. I have tested basic functionality and prepared it for operations.

Full featured at a great price March 26, 2013
Reviewer: Keith from Denver  
At first the amount of features is a bit overwhelming but one step at a time gets you where you know how to use it.  At the price point it is a superb radio and great for the ditch bag.  This has been a great purchase for me and Hodges service was simple and FAST.

Has one of everything offered on VHF November 10, 2012
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from San Francisco  
It's much lighter than the two-ways you have seen in the past, very clear sound, have picked up on everything possible with a hand held, and provides a lot of confidence. Sometimes I bring to work to stay on top of weather, but used on board until I wire up my Standard Horizon 2150 soon.

Great for the $$ November 6, 2012
Reviewer: Drottster from Byhalia, MS  
I am a newbie boater – but a stickler for safety. I like this device because it has everything the higher end units have, and more. It was a little complicated to learn to program, but a quick read of the book and I was good to go. So far, reception has been great. The speaker gets loud so when I am running, I can hear things. The one thing I don’t know is if the DSC service is available at certain intercostal lakes that I go to. I did want this radio for when I visit the cost though also.
The battery life seems great. I just had to charge it for the first time yesterday. The SOG and COG functions are accurate – I verified them. The waypoint function is cool. I would recommend this radio as a primary or secondary device to any boater.

Horizon HX851 October 27, 2012
Reviewer: Anonymous Person  
Feature packed! I use this handheld VHF radio on my fishing boat on the upper Chesapeake. The scanning, floating, and digital calling capabilities are great advantages. Works flawlessly.

Standard Horizon Hx851. March 15, 2012
Reviewer: Dave from Atlantic City, NJ  
Very nice radio - great for safety in boating where I move from boat to canoe quite frequently.   While it does allow input of waypoints, data entry is very laborious.  Would not use it as a gps for navigation.

Fast, perfect November 7, 2011
Reviewer: AZ Phil from Arizona  
Hodges had a super price on this great marine radio. It arrived almost immediately and in perfect condition. I live on the other side of the country but you wouldn't know by the service.
