Hi all, have to buy a new VHF after my old XM decided to self-destruct. This one seems to tick all the boxes at a reasonable price- has anyone owned/used one??
Thanks for that endorsement. Reassuring. I'll go with that I think. Cheers.I have its predessor with a remote in the cockpit. Excellent product.
Same here, cracking bit of kit.I have its predessor with a remote in the cockpit. Excellent product.
The GX1400 does not have an option for external microphone if that was what you wanted. Remote speaker yes.Thanks for that endorsement. Reassuring. I'll go with that I think. Cheers.
Fortunately I don't need one. Set location is within arm's reach of the wheel. Thanks for the info.The GX1400 does not have an option for external microphone if that was what you wanted. Remote speaker yes.
Mind made up then.... order placed. Cheers.Excellent after sales service based in Wnchester - I can't fault them and I have run a european service department for a large computer OEM
I've not fired it up yet so can't give you any advice on screen colour, it will be a couple of weeks before I can get round to it so I'll report back then.Can you post back here with what the screen is like? Some have said about the SH ‘lovely blue screen’ but it looks black and white in all images I’ve seen.
Im lamenting the demise of the Icom screen with the orange//yellow doesn’t seem very fashionable these days. Just their smallest has it but then you get fiddly dual volume squelch and still have to go way up the range before you get a stand alone channel know/dia.l harumph.
