jafisher134, Welcome to MTO.
I've thought about handheld units but I don't think I'll use it often enough to try and remember things like battery charging/cycling and so on.Def

The cobra 75 wx is like the midland but, you can't take it out of the car. It's wired, but theres a box under the dash instead of in the console.

If that's the case then I think we have a winner. The price looks about right, and I was wondering exactly where the heck I would mount such a thing. That small box looks pretty easy to mount/hide almost anywhere.Def
