I'd like to flush mount a VHF in my dash but I've got plexi covers and a mike cord would be a problem. Is there a radio with a seperate mike location avaiable ?
I use an older version of this Simrad handset model and love it at upper & lower stations for the high intelligibility of reception through the handset speaker over ambient noise.
It's used in conjuction with a black box and a remote speaker for basic monitoring , mounts securely on a dash bracket with cable plugged into a bulkhead /console connector. http://www.simrad-yachting.com/Products/Communication-AIS/VHF-Radio-Systems/RS82-dVHF-Radio-System/ .
Several mfgrs have similar setups as steveandjulia mentioned above, and others have standard fixed-mount VHFs with optional remote mics as frayedknot pointed out. Simrad also has the Remote Commander for wireless 25 watt VHF comms. . http://www.simrad-yachting.com/Products/Remote-Commander/
I just upgraded to the Standard Horizon GX 5000. Very happy with the performance. I cant believe how much clearer I can hear the transmissions versus my four year old Uniden.
I installed an Icom M422 with a remote speaker and Command Mic. The speaker greatly enhances audio quality and the Command Mic offers remote control of the radio. And it doesn't break the bank either.
