[Mobile-Portable] A 2 Meter radio question

[Philip Atchley]

Hi,

Originally I intended to buy a new dual band rig for the truck, but some 
expected income from the sale of a boatanchor receiver isn't going to 
materialize, so I need to cut corners a little, probably just getting a 2 
Meter rig (which I use mostly anyway).

I have a brief question here.  I have two 2 Meter mobile rigs, an Icom 
IC-229 H (mounted in the shack operating position) and a Radio Shack HTX-212 
(no bracket) as a spare.  I am VERY picky about how I install a rig in the 
new truck and have decided that a removable (remotable) faceplate is a 
necessity as such a faceplate will fit into the armrest cupholder quite well 
(with the radio under the seat).

The only problem is, nobody seems to make a single band rig with a remotable 
face, at least none that I can find in the AES catalog etc.  Are/were any 
such 2 meter rigs made, either presently or in the past that I can try to 
locate?
