I think this question was posted to the list a couple years ago and at the time, the answer was "no" . . . But given the fast-paced evolution of technology, I'll ask it again: Does any manufacturer make a hand-held to which you can attach a coax for a mast-mount antenna, to increase its range (not that you'd necessarily NEED to)? ----- Original Message ----- From: <htmills@bright.net> To: "'For and about Montgomery Sailboats'" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, May 10, 2004 8:13 PM Subject: Boats: wiring diagram That's a good idea, Doug (and Stan). Busca used to have a fixed VHF but when I got her all that remained was the coax and I haven't bothered to add one. I've just been using the handheld. If I decide to add one, I'll go that route. Tod
