Joe, how about a remote radio w/RAM mic(s), like the Standard Horizon PS1000 I bought (but have yet to install) a few years ago? My "grand plan" was to be able to move the black box and the microphone back and forth as needed between the power boat and the Montgomery, so, of course, it's sitting in the box in the basement (right next to the marine stereo system). The radio itself is mounted out of the way, and completely out of sight if you want, and controlled from one or more handsets. There was a higher end PS2000 also. Though they've been discontinued you could probably find a NOS or used one, maybe even down there in Craven or Carteret Counties. John Tyner M-15 #412 "Chimpanzee" Joe Murphy wrote:
My hand held radio just isn't sufficient for my location so I recently purchased a fixed mount VHF. I'm going to intall a mast antenna this weekend if this storm finally leaves the east. My question is this. Do any of you have any good ideas for the best way to mount a fixed VHF. Obviously I want to have easy access to it at the helm. I also would like to have access to it from within the cabin on occassion. Thanks for any advice. Joe Seafrog M17
