When you have two steering wheels on a boat (top deck, main deck), what's typically done for the marine radio? I currently just have one downstairs, and if I'm piloting the boat from upstairs, I can barely hear it - certainly not well enough to respond if somebody is hailing me.
I've run a couple of scenarios, but I'm also interested in current setups that other people have.
Idea 1: One radio downstairs, and one radio upstairs. Each with their own antenna, or sharing the antenna by use of a multiplexer/duplexer or something.
Idea 2: Single radio, but with an external speaker/microphone that runs upstairs.
Other ideas?
