[C320-list] Another remote VHF question--

[Allan S. Field]

Seems to me that if you are going wireless, you might as well go handheld.
And since the handheld's prove so unreliable due to low battery life, that
is why we went to the extra trouble and expense of installing the RAM mic.
Without going into the nasty details, our wonderful, top rate handheld
decided it needed a battery change at a very bad time, in the middle of a
conversation, and in a stressful situation.  Our motto is buy it cheap, buy
it twice (along with if it ain't broke, don't use it!).

We installed a Uniden 525 VHF radio with 1 WHAM remote unit last year.  The
display is easy to read and with a GPS connected to the 525, the LAT/LON
continually scrolls across the top of the WHAM display.  The best feature is
that you can place an intercom call to the base unit in the main cabin.  The
battery life could be better.  Otherwise, the WHAM wireless connectivity
works exceptionally well, voice transmissions are very clear.   You can read
and download the owners manuals on the Uniden website for more info.

Does anyone have any experience with the Uniden or WM VHF's that have the
wireless remote WHAM Mike feature? Seems too good to be true-no wiring??
Thanks in advance.
