Anyone know where I can get/download a copy of the Silva S10 VHF Manual?

If you search here you will see the recommendation that you bin the Silva and replace with a decent (Icom or Standard Horizon) set... The Silva's were a PoS and more trouble than they were worth

After persevering I found a site with a download that may be of use to others!

Weird site but if you follow link and then press the "back" button a download appears - not quite sure how.

Had one on my boat when I had it, maybe a 15 or 20? Eventually I found the display fading, it was fitted in the cockpit and UV got it. Nothing wrong with it and also found the code to program it, ie chamge mmsi etc. Its posted on here a few years back

Didn't for me, until I went via the main page and then located it myself - and then your link started working. I think they're attempting to prevent people linking to the manuals directly, either by setting a cookie or checking the referrer header (I didn't bother to investigate).

This link to the page for the radio (which has a link to the manual on it) might work: http://www.rigpix.com/marinetrx/silva_s10dsc.htm

If not, go to the main page for the site, and then come back and click on the OP's link again.

Yes, we inherited one on Kindred Spirit. Not the greatest of radios, but it did the job adequately. I wouldn't buy another, but nor would I take Larry's advice to immediately bin a working one for no specific reason.

The radio wasn't my choice but as it was installed on the boat I bought and seems to work perfectly well, I shall keep it. When it dies Ill get a new one!
