I have a 2008 40 Sundancer with a Northstar DS100 vhf radio. The hand held mic wire (rubber/plastic coating) is fraid and disintegrating. I have looked for Northstar components on Amazon, eBay, etc... with no luck based on the fact this radio is no longer manufactured. North Star was acquired and this model discontinued. This being said I am looking to replace, any recommendations as to what mic and/or VHF Radio to replace it is with?
I have a 2006 40 Sundancer, and had a similar experience with my Raytheon VHF radio, e.g. frayed wire, no longer manufactured, etc. I recently replaced it with a Raymarine Ray91 VHF Radio w/AIS and have been very satisfied with it.
