Re: Universal 5424 with Hurth Transmission problem

I had the same problem, no forward power. Repair should cost €1200. But brandnew HBW15 was €1400. I decided for new. This was in 2008 in Holland.

Re: Icom MA-500TR CLASS B AIS

The MOB1 works well with most DSC equipment but not all of them . Not every manufacturer reads the international regulations at the same way. :-(

Re: Icom MA-500TR CLASS B AIS

Til yet, none of the icom equipment gives an alarm at AIS plb 's or beacons. Only Standard Horizon Gx2200 does the job at this moment. We tested this in our workshop last week.

In my opinion is the 30+ years old M700 complete useless for Winlink or sailmail. It has only 16 fixed programmed frequencies, a complete dead end.
The M700-pro is a...
