Ted,
If your radio is old, doesn't have DCSC, and some of the more modern
features today's radio's have, perhaps you should consider up grading
and get a model with a WHAM mic. That way, you have the best of both
worlds. I forgot to bring my WHAM mic last summer and had to rely on
my hand held. Seems every time I really needed it, the batteries
were down, or the range too far for its 5 wts. Check out the WHAM
features in the West Marine catalog and you may be surprised at the
convenience and affordability of such a system.

All, I have a VHF radio that is mounted below decks, As I recall
the mic has channel controls on it but where it is located it is
not practical. Has anyone ever run a long microphone cable from
the radio so that the mic. can be removed from the base station and
connected via the new "extension cable" some where near the wheel?
