Simrad VHF service and fix

Primary is down below
Grace's VHF was re-registed with the new UK MMSI.

This had to be done by Navico, the UK distributer for Simrad.

At this point the VHF firmware was changed over as the transmission profile for UK waters is slightly different to the french setup.


Old with missing pin





I realised that the second handset that can be located in the cockpit was not working. The cockpit plug socket was corroded and one of the pins was simply gone. I doctored a new replacement cable from Navico and soldered it onto the existing wiring. Good as new.
