Hi all: 

I could be sinking to a low here in asking this but does anyone know of a maker of high output compact 11M mobiles? LOL 
I'm thinking of putting one in our car due to the fact that there's not allot of 2M activity here in Newfoundland and hardly worth the 100 to 250 investment and hassle. 
100 being a used one and 250 being a new Yaesu FT-1900 which sells for 180 at Radio World in Toronto, my closest ham store. Add in the taxes and shipping charges, approaching 250 plus. 
I've used echolink to monitor the repeater linking system here and there' only 8 or 9 check ins to a nightly net and that's it.  I've looked at Ranger and Galaxies so called 10/11M mobiles but they have to be modified to receive and transmit on 11M. 
So I don't know why they are called 10/11M mobiles. For that matter, I could modify my TS 570 to do that and install that in the trunk and buy the RC 2000, if that would work with the 570 but I'd rather just find a 25W or so 11M mobile with no hassles.
