replacement microphone

[tgebler]

Anyone have any suggestions in location a replacement microphone or do I have to breakdown and buy a new VHF radio. I would also appreciate a recommendation for a radio. I boat on the rivers around Pittsburgh soo long distance transmission is unnecessary. Primarily use the radio to contact the lock master.

I am providing a pic of the old microphone.

Consider getting a good quality handheld, can be used off the boat as well......

There's a place in Florida that specializes in repairing marine equipment. I'll see if I can dig up the contact info for them.

What's wrong with the mic? Just 'not work', or is there a physical problem like a broken cord?


EDIT: Looked up the contact info for the place I was thinking about. I have not used them, but have seen several good referrals:
It is Max Marine - Pompano Beach... 754-220-6565
Max or Julian are the contact folks there (but anyone could probably field the repair question)

Also wonder if Raymarine might be an option. They do repair old out-of-warranty equipment and most of their stuff has the Raytheon heritage.
