That is what I have and while I know that the handheld VHF doesn’t have the power to reach out that the masthead, fixed mount VHF has, it does receive great. If I need more talk power the cabin VHF is just a few steps away. When I sail alone, I clip my Icom M34 (floating) to my auto inflatable PDF in the off chance I find myself in the water alone…

Derek.- _____ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, March 26, 2010 11:52:10 AM Subject: [IC27A] 2 way radio 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?
