Manic Moore Posted March 25, 2007 Report Posted March 25, 2007 Can anyone help and tell me where I can get a mic holder for my VHF. The moulded clip on the back has broken from numerous times falling out of the holder (metal clip) so I am looking for a universal holder in soft plasic maybe? So it stays secure. Does anyone understand my ramblings Quote
Coddy Posted March 25, 2007 Report Posted March 25, 2007 Hi Gordon Depends on make but the Navman use a plastic version see here http://www.plastimo.com/pdf/NAVMAN_accesso..._Guide_2007.pdf page 27 for VHF spares Coddy Quote
Manic Moore Posted March 25, 2007 Author Report Posted March 25, 2007 Unless I missed it, I think this is still a clip type. What I was looking for is a holder that cups the intire mic, although I'm not 100% certain that it is going to work as my mic has a key pad on the front. Quote
plaicemat Posted March 25, 2007 Report Posted March 25, 2007 See if you can find one from a cheap mobile hands-free kit. I'm sure you know the sort, the ones with the expanding sides that grip when squeezed in. I've still got one kicking about somewhere; if I can find it, I'll let you have it. Terry. Quote
Manic Moore Posted March 25, 2007 Author Report Posted March 25, 2007 I know the type you mean Terry, I was looking for some thing more made for the job, but it may be that will be what I have to use in the end Quote
Adam F Posted March 25, 2007 Report Posted March 25, 2007 Gord, Ive never seen a vhf handset holder that encompases the whole mic... Icom use a basic clip holder and Ive never had one fall out - the one that Silva supplied with yours seems crap and is very flimsey. I may have a spare Icom one somewhere, failing that why not give them a call and see if they'll supply one? Quote
djredrupp Posted March 25, 2007 Report Posted March 25, 2007 got the idea from a winch handle holder: http://cas-yachts.com/aos/handheld/ this should encompass the entire mic, though not purposely made for it! hope it helps! Dan Quote
Sinbad Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 (edited) Gordon Thinking of your VHF Mike, this holder might do, with the addition of a slot for the cable cut in the front. Its used, of course, but you'd be welcolm to try it, Dimensions 75 x 90mm deep PM me and I'll pop round after work Edited March 28, 2007 by Sinbad Quote
