Default radio check with VHF

Harry,
It is a small world. I too had a Standard Horizon (I think they called it
PLUS). It would scan multiple channels. It was a nice white one. What
color was yours. I had mine mounted into the dash area right under the
wheel. Horizon used to make a adapter so it looked built in. Very
professional.

I sold it when I sold the boat, and my new VHF is a Icon.

Are you happy with your new Horizon?

I've never personally seen a radio that receives but won't broadcast.


Heh; I've got a VHF with exactly that problem sitting in my closet.


I had one, too. Standard Horizon. Several years ago. Sent it back to the
factory (through West Marine, where I bought it), came back as a new unit,
which worked. If I remember, the microphone circuitry or something like
that was burned out.
