| I know absolutely nothing about either rigs but a quick google of them confirms a bracket is available for the yaesu as wireless posted. But the yaesu looks huge compared to the icom. Also the icom looks to have a removable face for mobile use. Space was an issue with me mobile and why I chose the smaller CRT 9900 over a 6900. Otherwise I would of gone for the 6900. I much prefer the look and simplicity of them and they're cheaper ![:thumbsup: 👍](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/emojione/assets/png/1f44d.png?v=2.2.7) ![:rofl: 🤣](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/emojione/assets/png/1f923.png?v=2.2.7) Anyway thats maybe something for you to consider and good luck with whatever you choose ![:thumbsup: 👍](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/emojione/assets/png/1f44d.png?v=2.2.7) | |

I wasn't suggesting the CRT radios to you. I was wondering, as you mentioned mobile. If you had the space for the larger radio. ![:thumbsup: 👍](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/emojione/assets/png/1f44d.png?v=2.2.7) | |

| how easy was it to wide band your radio or did you send it out for someone else to do it for you? | |
