It's a quad bander, but indeed the control head size is almost identical
to the TM-G707A.

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).

While a bit taller, the TM-G707A control head is only 4.0" wide.

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.
