Don't know where you live, but if you are in the USA, you should check
the FCC to make sure that radio is Type Accepted for NEW Installations
on US Flagged Vessels. There are a LOT of older Marine Radios that do
NOT now meet the Technical Specs of todays Type Acceptance Certification
and therefore can NOT be Fitted. The can still be used, IF they were
installed before the Cutoff Date, for their Type Acceptance Expired,
under the GrandFathering Clause.

Hi Bruce. Thanks for the tip and that is an interesting one that I had not
heard of.

I actually live in Australia so I should check out our version of the FCC,
namely the ACA.

Maybe I may just need to bight the bullet and go ahead and buy a new Icom
M700 Pro24 unit?
