Furuno FM-2721 DSC VHF

[Dann]

Has anyone had experience of this model. Have heard rumours of the separate handset giving problems. Any comments ?

I have a Furuno VHF with separate handset -don't know the model number but think it may be a 3742 - or was that an IBM machine... Anyway the only problem is that the cable exit from the base unit to the handset (the multi plug) can be vulnerable to knees or elbows depending on how it's mounted.
Easily repaired and in my case, now protected by a steel fence.
Otherwise - an excellent product - up to Furuno standard, get one and think before you drill the mounting holes.

There's an excellent Furuno forum here (http://www.furunousa.com/Support/Forum.aspx) and a Furuno tech guy always answers. Really helpful.
