I can't certify that its the smallest, but the Kenwood TM-G707A has a pretty darned small control head.... and is fairly inexpensive for a dual band rig, to boot. I like it so much I now have three of them. Ed K7AAT I concur. 5 1/2 x 1 9/16 is the approximate W x H of the control head. |

The Yeasu FT-7800R is pretty small too, and also pretty inexpensive. The original poster was looking for the smallest control head. Near as I can tell from the specs, the TM-G707A's head is considerably smaller than the FT-7800R's. Ed K7AAT |

Oops - sorry, I thought you said FT-8900R... my error. In any case, the FT-7800R's control head is also about the same size (5 1/2 x 1 9/16). |

Unlike most of the remote head radios, the TM-G707 control head fits into a "cavity" in the front planel of the main radio body, so its width is considerably smaller than the main body. Reason I bought it go begin with was the same reason as the original poster... I had a very tight car (BMW 3 series) and I wanted minimum impact physically in a rather tight console area.... I managed to make a custome bracket and did a beautiful no-holes installation I was really proud of. Currently, that same radio control head is now mounted inside the ash tray cavity of my wife's new Toyota Highlander. Ed Ed |
