I wonder whether any one has seen or knows of a suitable mobile mount for a Yaesu FT-818/817?
My use case is around a robust mount to allow use whilst mobile, but also allow for removal for field use or when the car is parked.
Here's the additional challenge.... the car is a lease vehicle primarily used for work and thus drilling, sticking or bolting on of mounts is not permitted!
All ideas gratefully considered.

Mobile Mounting a Yaesu FT818?
Re: Mobile Mounting a Yaesu FT818?
Maybe a cupholder mount or seat bracket mount? DX Engineering has quite a selection and Amazon came in up in my search also.

Richard,
The hook side of hook/loop fastener tape (Velcro) will attach well to carpet if you have it in convenient locations In your vehicle. When adhesive bonded to a transceiver body or mounting bracket, the hooks will hold firmly to a carpeted surface, leaving no permanent change to the vehicle interior.
