Check these recent threads out- Fwiw, the search tab will provide a great source of information that already exists. Good luck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swivelfish Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I replaced the old GME in my Quintrex with an Icom m304-fixed VHF , I initially installed a uniden fixed VHF, which crapped itself really fast, I chose the icom for its display, which is uncomplicated, easy to read at a glance or ‘distance’ and quick response SOS button. I kept my uniden handheld 5w transmittable for my ditch kit. im in NZ, east coast, Auckland cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
