The Yaesu HX-300E is a compact floating handheld VHF marine transceiver that stands out with its innovative features. Its compact, ergonomic case design is made possible by the new ultra-small, large capacity 1650 mAh 3.7V Lithium-Ion battery technology, making it light enough to float face up if accidentally dropped in the water. The E2O Easy To Operate Menu System ensures user-friendly navigation through setup functions, allowing easy customization based on user preferences.

One of the standout features of the Yaesu HX-300E is its new USB charging technology. Supplied with a USB charging cable and 230VAC adapter, this transceiver offers more flexibility when recharging the battery. In addition, the water-activated flashing LED feature automatically activates a flashing RED LED to aid in locating and retrieving the radio if it goes overboard at night. With an IPX8 submersible rating of 5FT for 30 minutes, 5-watt transmit power, and 600mW loud internal speaker audio, this transceiver is designed to meet the needs of marine enthusiasts.

Moreover, the Yaesu HX-300E comes equipped with a range of useful functions, including volume and squelch indications on the display, a preset key for up to 10 channels, a preset channel scan function, and programmable scan, priority scan, dual watch, and tri-watch features. A 1650 mAh 3.7V Li-Ion battery powers the transceiver, which comes with an AC USB plug and charging cable, making it a versatile and reliable choice for marine communication.
