[QUOTE="Waffle, post: 759932, member: 12726"] I prefer a mounted mobile unit with a seperate antenna, but the main challenge in a buggy becomes water and dust. My solution was a waterproof TYT TH-8600 25w dual band that's rated ip67. For the antenna I use an 18" vhf Stico flexi-whip made of unbreakable nitinol. With this antenna I'm limited to one band (uhf or vhf), but I carry a second 4" Stico tuned for uhf just in case. For the mic holder I use the "magnetic mic" affixed to a radiused tube adapter I made, so no more fumbling around in the dark. Just get the mic close to the magnetic base and it instantly gets pulled into a secure position.
