Suggest a Radio Transceiver please....

[spudmike]

I am in need of a marine VHF radio... it must have DSC, large screen, hailer, GPS connectivity to Garmin GPS etc and here's the big one.... a remote.

Visualize a sailboat. The main VHF radio is down below next to the charts table so while at the helm I want a remote that can control the main radio. I know Uniden has this feature but I've had so many problems with Uniden I don't ever want to buy another one.

What other manufacturer has this type of ability?? I'm interested in your experiences and suggestions.

I want a TROUBLE FREE radio....

Thanks guys..

Look at Icom or Vertex, they both have a wide assortment of Vhf marine equipment. Vertex stuff is Standard Horizon either way go to www.yaesu.com and select marine products

Most of the newer ICOM's can use what they call "COMMANDMICΙΙΙ," remote mounts. The IC-M604 can handle two remote stations, with GPS display, hailer (the 604 has a 30watt amp), DSC, distress etc. on the extra stations.
