I bought a UHF handheld for cruises because it's the only time I'd use it. No real need for one mounted in the dash.

why dont you just get a radio that has VOX (voice activated) headset capabilities ?

save all that stuffing around trying to interface with mic inputs.

icon_biggrin.gif One thing I have found with UHF is its a very handy thing when you travel, site on ch 40 and the truck's will tell you where all the trouble spots are IE radar and hw/patrols are, can save that way. icon_biggrin.gif
