13.5 volts at the source well above minimum operating voltage. Not knowing the
radio however, it probably has the ability to interface with all sorts of
things so it is more than just a radio.
You may be have inadvertently set a voltage warning on the unit.Try scrolling
through the menu?

The main problem is likely that it is a West Marine 500 made by Uniden.
However, it could be a bad connection.
My not-so-humble opinion.

Joel. Does the VHF say this all the time or only while transmitting? Check
the voltage under load. You probably have a dirty connection. A volt meter
draws very little current, so to get an accurate reading it must be done under
load.

My fixed mount VHF says low battery. My meter says there is 13.1 volts at the
final connection. Radio is West marine 500(Uniden)Suggestions?
