--Hi, all. For a while, now, I have had a Ram Mount in my 2013 Silverado that mounts to the underside of the passenger seat. It works just fine, but whenever a passenger sits in the seat, they hit their left leg on the mount. I am about to take it out and put in a Havis 940-8 console, that way, nobody will hit their leg on it. The console will hold three radios. I am having trouble deciding between the radios above. Since I don't want to have to mess with buying an external speaker, the radio really needs to have a front-firing speaker.
--I have had good luck with ICOM in the past (I have an ICOM IC-F221), and the IC-5021 is the cheapest of the bunch. The 2nd cheapest is the Vertex VX-4600. For about $60 more, I can get the Vertex VX-5400 which has TDMA digital, but I don't think that modulation scheme will work with the new Yaesu digital amateur radios (CDMA, I think??). Since it's not CDMA, I can't think of why I would need TDMA, lol. There is the ICOM IC-F5121D, which is just a little bit more than the Vertex 4600, and it has NXDN digital. Nobody uses NXDN around here, but when traveling, there are at least SOME NXDN 2 meter repeaters. Finally, there is the Kenwood TK-7360, which is the highest price of all listed analog radios.
--So, for the people that have owned these radios, or dealers that sell and service these brands, what brand/model would you go with? I think I am leaning towards the ICOM 5021, or the Vertex 4600. Primary use is for two meter amateur radio. I just want something a little tougher that has a front-firing speaker. The only amateur radio currently made that is front-firing is the Kenwood TM-281, but I don't really want that one. If both radios are equal pretty much, but one is made in Japan and one is made in China, that would be the deciding factor. Sorry for the long post. I appreciate the help, though.
P.S.
I forgot to add something. Are there any software issues with either the ICOM 5021 or the Vertex 4600? Specifically, is the software easy to purchase and use? Finally, I know with my ICOM F-221 I have, I have used part of the software to actually adjust the power output to whatever level I want. It's a 45 watt radio, but if I really wanted to, that part of the software would let me make it 32 or 13 watts, or whatever amount I wanted to. I ended up setting the output power to around 35 watts or so, just so it would run a little bit cooler. Nobody missed those extra watts, anyway. Do you know if either of the above radios has part of the software that allows for this?
