Which antennae to use with a Uniden Oceanus radio?

The Aquatronics MS1550G is a marine stereo, not an antenna. If you are looking to mount an antenna to your boat, you will need to find a suitable location for the antenna mount and then run the coaxial cable to the location where you plan to install your marine radio.
Typically, the coaxial cable will run from the antenna to a hole or grommet in the boat's hull or deck and then be connected to the back of the marine radio. The specific location and process for running the cable will depend on the type of antenna and the layout of your boat.
If you are unsure of the best way to install your antenna, it is recommended that you consult with a professional marine electronics installer or refer to the installation manual for your specific antenna and radio

We recommend searching online for the Kelvin Hughes Marine Radio Model Husun 55 repair or schematics manual. You can also try contacting the manufacturer for the manual.

Hi!

We have a Uniden Oceanus DSC, which we bought as an upgrade for our MC-620. It has been my experience (20 years as a broadcast engineer) that reception issues are almost ALWAYS caused by the antenna. Antenna location is the easiest to fix, VHF being line-of-sight, HIGHER is better. We have our antenna on top of the mast (40' above the surface of the water). It has been my experience as well that Uniden products are very nearly bulletproof and RARELY need servicing. I'd concentrate mainly on checking your antenna installation.

Uniden will sell you a service manual, but they are indeed SPENDY. (Over $100US) Which is JUST about what your radio costs new.

Sorry I couldn't have been the bearer of better news.

Hi...

You might start by contacting Uniden's customer service.
The phone number for Parts and Service is 1-800-554-3988.

I had an Oceanus, and I was impressed with Uniden's friendliness & support.

You must have hooked the speaker output from the VHF to the nmea output of the GP320 instead of the NMEA!

either bad antenna or bad connection they can carrode

The Uniden Solara is a MARINE RADIO not a CB. Marine (boat) radios operate in the VHF-Hi range and CB is in the VHF-Lo range. You also need a license to operate a marine radio, or you can identify yourself with the name of your boat but you MUST be in the water.

Try moving your antennas further apart. If they are already a couple feet apart, mount the Uniden in another location away from the stereo if possible. You might check with a radio shop about a filter. Your Uniden operates in the 150MHz range and the stereo receives in the 88-107MHz range. Good Luck.

From the Oceanus owners manual (page 8, link below) it tells you how to choose a mounting location and complete your install.

While your MC610 was a great radio for it's time. the Oceanus is an excellent choice to replace your MC610. Unforunately you would be looking at about a $100.00 repair bill to repair your MC610. for just a little more you get a new radio and the new radio will have a warranty.
