In a car? Install a mobile radio...?
Why the requirement for them to be the same unit? |

I'd use the vehicle's sound system.
This goodies https://audiointerrupt.com/ sells might be relevant to what you're doing. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: In a car? Install a mobile radio...? Why the requirement for them to be the same unit? Nah this is a base station. Any form factor would work. Why? I listen to the radio, then when a net comes on it turns the radio off and I listen to the net. I just like it. I suspect just about any "dual band" radio will do what I want. Was just curious if anyone else does this and what radio they use. |

Any true dual band radio should be able to do this, as long as it can receive on the FM frequencies.
I used to travel with my Yaesu VX3R. It has an amazingly good FM stereo receiver. Audio quality is excellent, with decent earphones. |

YEASU FT-817 / 818 will do it
It's a small QRP shack in a box that does everything, . . . but only 5-6 watts  Attached File. . . . note BIC pen for size comparison  . .  Attached File |

That's a nice radio. For what I'm doing, that would fall under "treat yourself" category

It also does VHF/UHF all mode, so you can do SSB I don't recommend it as a first time HF rig. trying to work DX with 5 watts is like deer hunting with a snub nose 38 special. It's a big challenge.

Many will receive broadcast FM. Few will output stereo FM.

If you're willing to learn CW, it will open up a whole new world for you. I'm located in northeast TV and over the weekend was running 5 Watts into a trap dipole up 35' on 80, 40, and 20 for the SKCC Weekend Sprint and was nailing stations all over the country, including California.
When the bands are open, jumping the pond with QRP is not that much of a deal. Get on YouTube and call up some of the SOTA videos for examples. |
