Smallest 2M/440 mobile rig??
"WA2OLZ" wrote ...
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. Yaesu FT-90 is the smallest I've seen. Ours has had some issue with cold but otherwise OK. |

Smallest 2M/440 mobile rig??
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. On 11 Apr 2006 09:26:15 -0700, "WA2OLZ" wrote: 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, Jack - WA2OLZ John Ferrell W8CCW |
