This is the second HX210 we have bought. It's a great radio for the price. It charges in about 3 hours and is powerful enough to work well on Sarasota Bay. It floats and is submersible to 3 feet. Luckily, we have not had to test those features. It also comes with a 3-year warranty. And the company, Standard Horizon, stands behind that. When our first one stopped working within the 3-year timeframe, we returned it to them, and they sent out a new one in about 2 weeks. We are pleased with the product and the manufacturer.

Wow..... Here is my first impressions on HX210. First thing It’s unbelievable that this radio is MADE IN JAPAN for under $100 !!! I have not seen electronics from Japan for this price for 20 years now! Also as result this radio comes with 3 year warranty which is rather unusual for consumer product. So quality and water sealing has to be top notch that makes me believe that I own very reliable product,
Secondly, I was interested in how portable this radio is compared to others that I have. I owned multiple radios over time from FRS radios to Business radios. So based on single HX210 pictures it was hard to judge how small or portable it actually is. Finally, when I received it, my feel is that it’s pretty big and bulky and not exactly portable in comparison. You can see on my picture, Marine COBRA HH100(white) and the BAOFENG (that lots of people are familiar with) are much smaller. Aside from the performance differences, comparing only by size, I consider COBRA and BAOFENG small and portable radios. HX210 IS NOT. Old Marine Cobra is not submersible, 1W power running on 4 AAA batteries, Cobra is intended to be placed in waterproof bag in order to float or be submerged. Unfortunately, Cobra’s bag also muffles sound and makes it almost unusable in the real world. Performance-wise is not on comparable with the HX210 of course. Motorola HT1250 business radio is roughly same size as HX210 to give you an idea, albeit HX210 is lighter. Relatively Large size is to make it float as part of its design. Its problematic to clip HX210 on your lifejacket for paddle board or kayak, as its size will always be in your way getting hit by the paddle or your own hand movements. I just clip it to the paddle board itself.
