Short story; don't currently have a truck and just driving a company car I can't really modify.
I have a Yaesu 8800 I pulled from the 80 when I sold it. My thoughts are getting a Pelican case (or likewise). Mounting the radio in there with a foldable/collapsible antenna, external Anderson type connector to plug into a car/truck battery and possibly a small battery inside the case for short run time if not plugged in.
I know I have seen similar but my search-foo is weak today.
Thoughts on a setup like this? Additional components needed in said case? Basically a tidy bug out radio setup. (Yes I have several mobile handhelds but reaching out would be nice in remote areas)
