WTB Standard Horizon HX270S Charger - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

JimPat · 06-12-2008, 04:19 PM

Just returned from living in Virginia for 15 months and cannot find the charger for my radio. Before I buy another one new, I thought I would check to see if maybe someone had lost their radio and have the charger laying around and would like to sell it.

Thanks BajaDog. I saw those when I Googled, but was hoping to get lucky with someone having one laying around. Not to mention not having to wait for one to ship. I have had the radio so long, I hate going out on the water without it.

Thanks,
Jim

I have an extra charger, what model do you have? I had a HX471, I believe they will all charge any model... Mine fell out of my pocket to Davey Jones Locker... you can have it for a nominal fee... 6 pack of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale...

For reference, here is the one I had...

Jim,

Please email me (j.kennedy@vxstdusa.com) your Home Address and I will send you out the charger for the HX270S. Do you need both the 110 VAC cord and charging bucket?

Please buy Holy Mackerel a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale or better yet a local SD BEER (Green Flash or Stone Brewing).

Thanks,

I had the same situation, but recently just found the charger. I was pleased to find that the radio held it's charge (with limited use) for six months! Standard Horizon makes a great product.

JimPat · 06-13-2008, 01:26 PM

Jason,

Email sent, and I have to say I appreciate it very much. I have been more of a lurker on this board for the last few years because truthfully I don't get out enough to be as effective as most on here. Hopefully now that I have retired from the Navy I can put more time in on the water to learn the tricks that will make me more successful. I did know that there are a great bunch of folks here and am not surprised by the responses.

Holy Mackerel, your offer was greatly apprecioated also, and I wouldn't mind bringing a few down to the launch.

Thanks, Jason Kennedy for taking care of a customer, that is impressive. And Stone Pale Ale makes a great local alternative to SN pale.

Handymansd · 06-13-2008, 03:53 PM

Wow... JimPat if you will confirm that they actually sent you a free charger I will trade in my Icom for a new S.H.; just to support anyone with that kind of customer service! Companies that treat their customer base like that will get ALL of my business!

Standard Horizon · 06-13-2008, 04:32 PM

Glad I could be of some help to JimPat. Thank you for all of you kind words. Happy Father's day to all the dad's out there, it will be my 2nd father's day. Look forward to spending time with my 15 month old son on the water this weekend.

JimPat · 06-19-2008, 08:46 PM

A note to all that Jason is as good as they get

...

Came home today to find an envelope on the porch that had a charger for my radio in it. I am a Standard Horizon customer for life. If you come down to fish drop me a line a head of time and I will buy you that beer

.

Thanks,
Jim

Classic. I Googled this because I lost my charger, and this message string popped up. Small world. Basically when I was in Hawaii I charged it at a friend's and left it there. By the time I realized I had left if there, it disappeared. Sooooooo... anymore good karma floating around out there? I am fine with the Green Flash beer donation, as well. I live in Cardiff and would be happy to pay for mailing it. I love the radio but can't afford to keep using batteries. If nobody has an extra, I will try to buy one online... just thought I'd check first!

Aloha,
Trout
