Current CB/Export radio’s don’t — to my knowledge — feature detachable remote control heads.
I believe there have been a few in the past which sort of fit that niche.
OTOH, the Uniden BC906 wireless microphone might serve as a way to keep a radio concealed from prying eyes while still allowing the operator use of the equipment.
Experience should be enough to set radio controls so that changes aren’t needed for most daily drives
I’ve bought one of these to pair with a Uniden 980, though I haven’t set it up for use.
There are several threads where posts about owner use is favorable (highly).
And, I guess a guy could attach a longer microphone cord to accomplish much the same.
A seatback organizer — suitably modified — in the same color as the seats themselves is potentially a way to keep a radio concealed.
I’d feel more comfortable with a wooden box to contain the radio. Allowing securement of coax & power, and allowing ventilation.
I’d want nothing visually “emerging” from the contraption that helps signal its presence. (No other use but perhaps some spare radio supply/gear storage).
A slender, vertical radio mount (so to speak). Under a fabric cover the color of the passenger seat back. Substantial use of Industrial Velcro for attachment besides straps at headrest & seat cushion.
Allows one to operate controls by touch.
Here’s an example of the many for sale out there:
An removable antenna on an NMO mount, otherwise. (Where low-key is an ideal). NMO-27 Larsen.
A (7’) mag mount otherwise.
Now, up above that seatback install, one would want to hang his FROGG TOGG rain-suit.
Drapes down over Radio nicely.
Another example:
Ha!
I think I just solved how to finish the gift of a radio rig to my son & daughter-in-law that’s been in the works the past year. Just wouldn’t finish . . . to close itself off at a natural point.
1). One SSB rig for the house. Power supply and a basic dipole. (Plus books; these two are brainiacs).
2). Another for the car (and now: how to overcome potential objections to its presence by either party).
Have almost all the pieces besides concealed mount as above.
Been buying tools & supplies for everything from RF Bonding to installing Anderson PowerPoles. My three vehicles, plus this extra.
The install will such so as to run a more substantial Radio than an 11-Meter SSB rig. .
Re-state: I think I finally heard what was being whispered.
“Be still, and listen”.
