What customers say
This essential 12V DC cable earns high praise for its perfect compatibility and reliable functionality with handheld VHF units, especially the HX series.

While performance and quality are universally lauded, the primary friction point is the perceived high cost for a simple accessory. Despite this price concern, customers agree it is a necessary, high quality purchase that ensures constant radio readiness and delivers significant peace of mind.
