I found a few threads but nothing on a setup picture that I could find. Trying to decide b/w Midlands or Wouxun and the YT reviews are not helping - they are mostly paid content from one company vs another. So wondering what set up members here are running and how are you mounting it in your rig

This is what I run in the race car.

It has a removable faceplate , that made mounting easier for me. It is very powerful. We use Boafang handhelds in the pits.

I've got a few of the Baofeng UV-5R+ handhelds. I keep one in the truck and one in the jeep at all times. In the Jeep I also have a hard mounted Btech UV-25x2. I chose this unit due to its small size and where I wanted to mount it. Its been great. SEVERAL others here use this same radio.

Are these easier to change frequencies than the hand held ones?

Mine are all easy since I programmed in the channels I wanted ;) ;) ;)

Pretty sure Midland (like Rugged) doesn't give you the 1/2 watt channels (GATR 8-14 IIRC). I bought a rugged on black friday and ended up returning it because they told me they couldn't enable those channels.
Baofeng/BTech and TTY have all of the channels

Btech UV-25X2 for me. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220107/4b0229f36288667624af30c0c53d4ea0.jpg)
