This is new Planet gear. (And I'm not suggesting that is unreliable). …830 viewsForum replyNew radio- strange behaviour.Hi Bill and Stephen, Thanks for your input.

The owner of the boat is a very neat and careful builder - I wish I'd thought to t…830 viewsForum replyNew radio- strange behaviour.Thanks Rob and Martin, As I say it isn't my boat so can't check the antennae but will pass on that info.
