Anyone here a radio geek? I just had a light bulb moment that the open dash panel design on the Slate is an ideal spot for mounting a mini Amateur Radio or GMRS mobile rig.
Think about it, guys! Visible when open, neatly hidden when closed, and way better than a cupholder mount!
There looks to be plenty of room for a radio and a small speaker. I’m sure the Slate team is already planning some kind of factory antenna option.
Since the panel is plastic, maybe we need to put a small metal plate inside for heat dissipation, or are these small GMRS rigs low power enough not to worry about it?
What do you think guys? Super excited to see this happen!
