Factory-programmed with all USA, Canadian, International, and NOAA Weather channels, the HX400 can also be programmed by an authorized Standard Horizon dealer with up to 40 land mobile radio channels (137–174 MHz) featuring CTCSS or DCS signaling.
Note: Programming land mobile channels requires the appropriate FCC license.
Built-in Noise-Cancelling Microphone and Voice Scrambler
The HX400 delivers exceptional audio clarity even in windy or noisy environments, thanks to its integrated noise-cancelling microphone. It also includes a built-in voice scrambler for secure communications, compatible with other Standard Horizon VHF fixed-mount and handheld scrambler-equipped radios.
Loud Speaker Audio
Equipped with a powerful 700 mW internal speaker, the HX400 ensures loud, clear sound — even in high-noise marine environments.
Speaker Microphone Connection
The HX400 includes a speaker-mic connection port for use with optional accessories, allowing hands-free operation or remote audio options.
Programmable Channel Names
Each channel can be named or customized by the user for easy identification (e.g., “16 – Distress,” “22A – USCG,” “71 – Pleasure”).
NOAA Weather Channels and Alert
Ten NOAA and Canadian weather channels are pre-programmed and easily selectable using the dedicated WX key. The radio can also monitor WX channels continuously and provide audible alerts for incoming storm advisories.
