    I'm a fan of the Kenwood D710G and Icom 5100A. Have run both. Photos in the install threads below

    Icom first: https://adventuretaco.com/icom-5100a-install-omg-did-i-just-drill-a-hole-in-the-roof-of-my-truck/

    Kenwood D710G currently: https://adventuretaco.com/where-are-you-adding-aprs-to-the-ham-radio-comms/

    Also worth checking out Mod Wars – USB charger blocking Ham Radio Communication, just to be aware of RFI created by other devices and how it can interfere with a mobile rig.

    Icom 2730a (2m, 70cm) allegedly can be modded for GMRS and FRS :cool:
    Head is under driver seat, mic extension with plug installed in center console by seatbelt. Faceplate held on by sticky velcro.
    I can unplug the face and tuck the wire into the cubby, unplug mic and You'd never know it was there. Other than the fender mount antenna :eek:
