Uniden Introduces Industry's First
Wearable, Waterproof
Two-Way VHF Marine Radio

Uniden America Corporation has announced the availability of HH 940, the industry's first wearable waterproof, two-way VHF marine radio.

Weighing only 8.8 ounces, this waterproof radio has withstood high-velocity water impact tests up to 50 mph. It has a suggested list price of $314.99.

The HH 940's waterproof construction protects again the harshest marine conditions and is designed to reduce the possibility of saltwater corrosion. With advanced technology, the HH 940 provides reliable high-power performance with maximum sound output and insures fracture resistance under virtually any usage requirement.

The HH 940 is equipped with all USA and International marine channels and incorporates a triple watch feature, allowing users to continually observe emergency channels 16 and 9 while monitoring a third selectable channel. Users may also simultaneously activate the weather alert feature which periodically refers to the NOAA weather service to monitor inclement conditions.

"Because of its size, performance, and waterproof construction, the HH 940 is the first of its kind on the market," said Karen Murphy, director of sales for Uniden's Marine Products Division.
