• Distress Alert When activated, the distress alert transmits the latitude and longitude of a vessel. This VHF handheld is capable of transmitting and receiving DSC distress messages. Additionally, the HX890E features a water-activated strobe light that will turn white upon contact with water. This feature helps locate the radio in low light conditions and works even when the radio is turned off!
