[C320-list] Best place to attach cockpit radio extension mic

[Allan S Field]

Mark - I did what you did originally and had the same result.  I then ran
the mic cord up through the tube and mounted the Ram mic to the front of my
Raymarine C80 chart plotter encased in a NavPod.  Here is a link to a pix:

I attached an extension mic in the cockpit on port just between the lids for
the propane well and the settee. That's not too bad for the the helmsman,
but is in the way of crew working or sitting nearby. Before the end of the
first season a crewman kicked the connector and rendered it useless.

I've considered moving it to the instrument pod, but it is very difficult to
get around the wheel to get to the mic. I think my best move is to leave it
where it is and reinforce or add a shield do the connector.

What have others done?
