Or does everybody else have problems with electronics. This year, I
have replaced 3 hand held VHF units and am about to replace a
permanently mounted one that is only 2 yrs old.


I just replaced a fixed mount ICOM VHF that was over 15 years old. I
would have bought another ICOM but they no longer make one with the
same form factor so ending up buying a Standard that was a better fit
in my panel. Standard and ICOM both make high quality radios. For
navigation gear and radar Furuno really stands alone at the top of the
quality heap. Go down to your local commercial fishing dock and take
a look at what they are using.
