Sounds like a good idea Massman. I’d like to avoid drilling holes as much as possible too. Using a couple of wide Velcro strips it would be easy to put in and take out again. Just one problem: on the FT817 the speaker is on top and I assume it would muffle the sound substantially. So probably we would need an external speaker.
I have a busy schedule this weekend. Maybe the weekend after that I will have a go at it. If you’ve tried it please let me know your experience with it, would appreciate that very much.
I was just looking at the area under the CD storage tray...seems very flat and even. Might make a good piece of VELCRO on the top of the FT817 a good fit under there. No holes to drill...no mount to slide in and out of. Just a nice, easy, pull and you could have the FT817 available for other uses. I may do that this weekend. Use it on 144/440 most of the time, but have a six meter antenna at the read in the back of the PRIUS.
