My iCom IC-M504 VHF has lost its receive capability. I need to replace it. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has replaced their VHF in the last couple of years... Brand? Model? Features? Remote mic included? Same size so it fits the 5 ¾" x 3 ⅝" hole in the sub-panel? Price?

I contacted iCom and sent our radio in for repair. The repair was successful. The radio is back and doing fine. Plus, we replaced the cheap-o Shakespeare VHF antenna for a more powerful one. That helped too. Now, I get the normal chatter on Ch 16.

iCom charged a very reasonable $115 including shipping to repair it.
