Ralph,
Practical Sailor, November 2007 Vol 33 No 11 had a write up on
remote marine VHF microphones. They covered ICOM, Raymarine,
Standard Horizon, and Uniden. I purchased the WHAM mic from Uniden
recently because my hand held VHF radio died. I have a Uniden 524
down below next to the nav station and I was looking for an easy
installation which will occur in January. I do remember reading
somewhere that Uniden radios do not work well in Mexico, but that may
not be a big issue for everyone.
Hope this info may be of some help to you.

Hey folks,
I have a buddy who's asking about the WHAM mic. Not the RAM (wired)
but the wireless WHAM currently offered on both Uniden and some
West Marine VHF models.
I know the technology, but am somewhat dubious of it.

I've found one REALLY negative comment on the Uniden WHAM at
Amazon.. (Poor battery life, delay in speech, etc)
but can't find any other reports
I haven't used one so I can't comment.
Maybe someone on List has some insights ?
Much thanks
