Looking at getting a new vhf handheld, the old one is, well, old, and
cranky. Looks like the Standard Horizon's HX260 is on closeout for $100
in several places, any one have any experience with this handheld? the
price is right for a waterproof/submersible, and SH makes mostly decent
kit, in a chevy not a caddy sort of way.



Don't know about the 260 but the 460S button switches have been troublesome
on mine.

Interesting. I've been using two 460S' since they were first introduced.
To date, trouble free, though I've had to replace the headset, once.

First button to pack it in was the 'lamp' one...now it's the 'return'
button.
I talked to a rep at the local boat show...good news is they can be repaired
in Canada now...no more shipping defective units stateside.
