As a rover several years ago I operated mobile between grids. I had a F150 regular cab in which I used a Icom 706mk2g. The body of the radio was mounted behind the seat with the head unit mounted on the dash. I used a one earpiece headset mic plugged into the radio body and I used a footswitch mounted on the floor where the dimmer switch used to be.Remember those ? This was a two wire connection to the head unit for Ptt only. Other than looking at the display which was in line with the instrument panel, I had both hands on the wheel and minimal visual distraction. This setup could be adapted to most any radio for a very safe way to mobile. Forget cw. One hand would be operating the key, thus limiting your control in a fast response situation . But it boils down to this....drive first, radio second.
