Ive bought via ebay a fixed vhf dsc set. Unfortunately my boats previous owner mounted the compass on the port side. I think the port side is the most sensible place to mount a vhf for easy in and out of cabin access. However I have to mount the vhf 1 meter from the compass
has any one else had this problem or jot a good recommended mounting point ?
Andy,
my fixed VHF is mounted underneath the Switch panel etc on the port side and the compass is also on the port side. I have not seen any problems with the compass when the VHF is in use or a significant change in the deviation of the compass.
I don't have the inside/outside use you mentioned but can change channels and alter volume via my handset but I only use the VHF inside too.
Sometimes under engine the VHF is difficult to hear but an external speaker would solve that problem in necessary.
Cheers
Morris
