Why It Stands Out
The MHS338BT is designed for real-world maritime use. Its rugged construction, water-activated safety features, and dual GPS/DSC capabilities make it a dependable lifeline in emergencies and a powerful tool for everyday navigation. The floating design and IPX8 rating mean you don’t have to worry about a drop—this radio will keep operating when you need it most. And with built-in weather alerts, you’ll stay ahead of changing conditions while remaining connected with crew, family, and support networks.
Connectivity, Navigation & Safety in One
From DSC distress calls to waypoint navigation and smart app-based texting, the MHS338BT bridges traditional marine radio functions with modern conveniences. Use the Android or iOS app to exchange text messages with other VHF radios, set up DSC directories, and manage alerts — all without leaving the safety of your vessel or landfall.
