Thread: vhf radio

I think its best for me to defer to others experience.
In any case most vhfs will not be worth fixing. If you do replace it. Replace antenna and cable too. Its cheap insurance if you need to summon help!

thanks for the input everyone, got up on the hardtop yesterday and sure enough the coaxial cable to the antenna was perished and cracked as I moved it around, so decision made I drove into tauranga to burnsco, purchased a new radio and antenna for $329 and installed it yesterday, test call to waihi beach coastgaurd and jobs right.
best solution for what is an essential bit of kit over here.
cheers
