I have a Raymarine 230 and the handset cord is toast.  I took the cradle apart and traced it to the transceiver.  My set has the external speaker and the handset has a sealed adapter that splits the handset line between the transceiver and the external speaker.  So, my question:  can I get a replacement handset with the above referenced "sealed adapter".  Can I replace the handset with a Raymarine 260 handset ($699.00).  Can I use a secondary handset as the primary handset?

And I guess one more question,  Is the 420 Sundancer  wired for an external hailer, if so, where is the hailer placed on the forward deck?

Ritz Sea now renamed the Aqua Condo.

Thanks, Captain Rick. Raymarine says they no longer service the VHF230 fist microphone or auxiliary handsets and the VHF needs to be upgraded to the 260 model.

See if you can find one on eBay. I just found a new handset for my Northstar there...

I had a similar problem. My dog chewed through the cord. I found that placing the whole unit with a new updated one made more sense financially. I went with a Standard Horizon unit.
