18 months back for a project that got canceled. The radio is new, old stock, and has never been out of the box. It does have a detachable face plate and I have the original separation kit with it. If this will meet your needs, I’ll let it go for $125.00</span></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">Dave, I second Rich's suggestion. I bought a used Kenwood TM-V71a from another HiDARG member last year. I mounted the body in the back of the truck, and tucked the remote head just beneath the ashtray. It's pretty bulletproof... not
a lot of bells and whistles... it just works.</p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="">Back to the OP question…..</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style=""> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="">In amateur radios I am most familiar with Yaesu and on the commercial side Motorola and Vertex. Vertex is now all Motorola so none new, not sure if there were older ones with a removable faceplate? None of those two brands of
Part 90 gear have a VFO or any sort of on radio user programmability, need cables and software. I have a mobile Vertex VHF analog/DMR radio for work and a couple of matching HT’s, BUT that mobile does NOT have a detachable faceplate.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style=""> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="">Looking through what Yaesu offers currently and has for last few years, the removable faceplate radios are few, currently a single analog dual band and two analog/digital offerings.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style=""> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="">The east expensive currently new is actually the YAESU FTM-100DR at $275 and is a nice rig at that price point. Note that radio is dual band, BUT only has a single VFO if it is important to listen to both bands at same time.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style=""> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="">What is floating around used from pre 2015 in the Yaesu line in dual bands with removable face plate I am unsure of.</p>
