Look what's fallen off now

[brucehawsker]

On the way back from Weymouth, doing our best to keep up speed in a head sea, suddenly heard the hand microphone of the radio bouncing loose. Closer inspection showed the plastic of the microphone back had given way with a crack, and the magic semi circle of plastic inside the microphone had fractured. Thus we have now a perfectly fine clip attached to the console, and a microphone which will no longer stay attached to it.

Currently held in place with duck tape.

Solutions?

BTW it is a Navman 6100

Thanks

warranty replacement, if you are going to keep the radio then I'd consider using some commercial spec Velcro instead
