Dont forget the IC-208

I measured my Yaesu FT90R's control head. It is 1-1/8 inches X 4
inches.
I don't think it is still available.

Looking for advice to find the smallest dual-band mobile rig with
remote head capabiltiy. The size of the transceiver is unimportant; the
size of the remote head is what it's all about.

I traded my SUV for a VW Passat and there's not a lot of room to mount
anything! I've already swapped out the standard 2X-DIN radio for a
single DIN and installed a scanner in the other half of the 2X-DIN
space, so that's gone. I have my GPS and Blackberry holder mounted on
ProClip mounts, so I'm really getting tight.

I'd really like to find the smallest possible remote head mobile rig as
I'm not fond of HTs in a mobile environment.

Any help would be appreciated.

Tnx & 73,
