New fixed vhf

[Sandy]

My icom 411, fitted at the chart table is broken. Thinking this through, I never actually used it because 99% of my calls are made or received at the helm on a hand held. Still, I feel I have to replace it because it has that little red distress button. So I think it may be a good idea to buy one that has a 2nd station so that I can use the main VHF in the cockpit instead of the hand held. Now I'm thinking, why go to the extra expense, why not install the new fixed VHF in the cockpit? Is the chart table the correct place to install the fixed VHF and why?

We have a number of RIBs in the club and all of them have VHF radios at the wheel, they must be waterproof.

I am looking to run a RAM to the cockpit in future.

Garmin offer a neat wireless handset.

Is this deliberate irony given your recent complaints about zombie resurrection?

Why? Why reply to a thread which is 6 years old? What's the point? Most of the posters on the thread are no longer here anyway. Are you so desperate to post something? If so, start a new thread on any random subject.
