[HCRA] Question: Small Radio Wanted For Mobile Installation

[n1kxr at comcast.net]

Greetings all,

I'm going to install a mobile rig in the wife's vehicle, but the trouble is there in not a lot of mounting options as her vehicle has bucket seats, a center console shift, cup holders and a smallish "junk" holding area. I could mount a radio to the side of the console on the passenger side footwell, but I'd like to make it a little more out of the way as well as make it harder for a potential thief to break in and steal it.

Sooo, that being said, What rig(s) would the group recommend? It needs to be a VHF, but if the right size, I'd really like to have a VHF/UHF mini-rig.

Thanks in advance for all the help and suggestions.
