We went to West Marine yesterday to replace the old Standard Horizon VHF that came with our boat since it won't scan without immediately locking on 70 and does not receive 22A. We discovered that the CMP23W remote mike we use on the flybridge is not compatible with any new radio and they did not have any remote mikes in the store.
The question, which neither they nor some Googling could answer, is whether the connectors and cable for the CPM23W are the same as for the CMP30W or Ram3 mikes. If we have to run a new cable, it's going to be a lot easier to just install a second radio and antenna but I do like the remote mike setup with a handheld as backup.
