My VHF took a crap over the weekend. I remembered I had a brand new VHF in the garage that was never used. I bought it a couple years ago for $25 bucks from a buddy.
The VHF is an Apelco VXL 9000 which appears to be made by Raymarine. The manual and all paperwork are all there. I was quite surprise that the manual is unlike manuals of today... it actually has internal wiring diagrams, theory of operation, etc. It appears as though the unit cost around $350 whenever it was purchased new.

Should I use it or bite the bullet and buy a new one for $200 or so?
