..........
I have the Icom IC-440N as they are so reliable and an easy to use control mic.
I work for a Two Way Radio company and we have never had a faulty 440 come in to the workshop.
For the aerial I have a RFI CD90 series antennas are very good.

Icom 440 in both my cars. They are awesome Military spec. The one in the GUIV has the controls in the hand piece which allows the rest to go under the seat and I store the hand piece under the seat when I don't need it. They are great

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

This could get as many answers as there are members. I have a GME mounted in the car as someone told me Oricon were no good. I then got an Oricon porty as a backup when walking or recovery and they are both brilliant. I think all the known brands are ok but if you buy on line an unknown brand you are taking a risk.
2005 GU IV ST 3.0. Snorkel. Roof rack. Awning. Spots. Welded I/C. Dual batteries & VSR. UHF. Barn door hinge extension. Roof top spot lights. Rear drawers. 2" lift. NADS. EGT and boost gauges. Trans temp and water temp gauges. Provent 200 catch can. Rear ladder
And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time. And lost in space... and meaning.

Here is my recommendation for the most reliable, best performing and most versatile setup
http://www.prestigecom.net.au/icom-i...a-with-2-whips
If you buy the GME then I would buy the same antenna to go with it.
99% of reccy users never need the performance of the co-linears in the 'broom stick' style antenna
An elevated feed whip antenna like the RFI is perfect
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
