I realize that there aren't a lot of hams on here, but since this is the kind of radio I'd think some of you have in chase vehicles I thought I'd ask around here.
I'm looking at getting either the Yaesu FT-857D or Icom IC-7000 HF+ radio for installation in my sedan. The antenna would be a 96" whip on a ball mount (rear fender) thru a tuner. I really like the Yaesu line of equipment, but the Icom has it's own merits.
If anyone has experience with either radio, please post your feedback.
