Marine VHF Radio: Repair or Replace?
Our Standard Horizon HX460S radio has become screechy and friend thinks squelch control can be repaired or replaced. It may be old but has excellent battery life. Just at times screechy. Have you repaired a radio? Thinking of asking Standard Horizon for a repair quote - anyone done this? Given new units are advertised at starting prices of $100, what unit did you buy and why? What to look for in a replacement combo VHF marine / weather radio?
Thanks.
