M1 (157.850 MHz) may be programmed as channel 37 (or channel 37A), M2 (161.425 MHz) may be programmed as P1 or P4 - worth checking if your VHF has any of these.

Can you select channel 70 as a channel on your VHF? I am nowhere near a VHF at the mo but I don't think it should even appear as a channel you can select.

Salt water ingress into either the first mic or main set, or into the external mic connector on the back of the main set? The salt shorts out the contacts on the back of the pushbutton(s).

The C Class was a very rare beastie - only a few stations ever had them - not sure how many were ever made, but very few.

It is - only downside is the steep slope from house to water. You probably need to carry everything down to water and assemble there, or launch at Glenridding and bring the boat round by water (what...
