We went with an West Marine (ICOM) DSC VHF with a WHAM (Wireless Remote
Mic) for the helm along with a Standard Horizon HX870. The fixed VHF
does not have internal GPS but I hooked up our old Garmin 276C GPS to
feed position to it. Nice to have backups. The Garmin powers up and
shuts down with the radio. I considered upgrading to a SH with AIS but
decided the old set up still works fine. Originally had the radio and
WHAM on our old Redwing 35 and moved it over to the Mark III.

Listers,
So it appears that the cable and Standard Horizon RAM mic for my VHF
radio has finally bit the dust and there are no replacement parts
available. The main base unit, inside the boat is still working
beautifully though.
I’m currently torn with the premise of buying a new radio, a new
external mic and running a new cable, or just leave things as they are
and just use a portable handheld outside.
Should I decide to go with a new radio and external mic setup, does
anyone have recommendations?
All the best,
Edd
