The only "flaw" is that it is a closeout sale to make way for the new model HX870. The HX851 is a great radio, and at $125 is indeed a bargain.

Unless there is a flaw in these radios I am not aware of, this is the VHF handheld bargain of the century. I would buy one or two of these PHRF or not.

I think I’ll get one myself just on general principles of being a cheap sailor J

Gary –

I’ve been digging for the information you referenced on “purchased” after 1/1/15. Can you send me a link for that?

Thanks,

Pete

Joel, I checked with our CBYRA rep and was told that CBYRA is not the authority, it is PHRF of the Chesapeake. And I looked at the PHRF web site and it states that if the handheld is PURCHASED after 1/1/15, then it must have the DSC capability.

    All,

    Found out that the local racing authority, CBYRA, will require a
    handheld VHF with DSC this season.

    Looking at a Standard Horizon HX851 Handheld VHF Radio with GPS
    from theGPSStore for $125.00

    Any reason I should not buy this unit?
