Handheld VHF with USB charging?

[Tweeds]

Does anyone know of a handheld vhf that charges off a USB port, other than the icom m25? Standard horizon did one (HX300?), but is no longer available.

I like the idea of being able to charge anywhere with a generic cable

Why not the icom?

Why not the icom?



No reason, just wanted to check if there were other options before pressing the button.

A quick Google of the thread title gives this: https://www.amazon.com/Standard-Horizon-HX300-Handheld-Marine/dp/B00AJVXA5W

Having said that, I have a M25 and it's a great little radio

I have the cobra hand held radio, and I charge it with a cigarette lighter lead which is available to buy on Ebay

My icom M1euro V handheld does that, but usb charging is becoming very common and then you can add a battery pack so able to recharge 'on the go'
