I have purchased a 2006 vintage boat that was equipped with a Raymarine Ray215 VHF on the helm and a Rayvhf remote station in the salon with a Raymarine speaker with volume control. The previous owner replaced the Ray215 with a Ray55 VHF radio prior to me purchasing the boat and the older Rayvhf is not compatible. I have since purchased a Raymic A46051 with cable to install in the salon to replace the older unit.

1) Does this Raymic Remote station, A46051 hand set, require an external speaker.
2) Will the existing speaker work with the A46051 or do I need to exchange it with a passive speaker.
3) if the older speaker and the A46051 will not work, could you recommend a newer Raymarine speaker that will connect to the handset, with the two wires on the extension cable that came with the kit.

Thank you in advance.
