On May 14, 2018 I decided it was time to upgrade from my cheap Baofeng handheld and ordered my first mobile VHF/UHF radio: an Icom ID-4100 from DX Engineering for $415.95.

ID-4100A

I liked the small size of this radio, plus the fact that it was capable of D-STAR and had a GPS receiver built in. While the radio usually spends its time in my shack as a base station, it is small enough that it is easily transferrable to my Jeep for mobile operations.
