Has anyone done that?? I have a KX-3 and its just too nice to take the abuse of mobile to me. So, I was thinking of picking 1 up and mounting it as I have the room.

IC-718 mounted mobile
- Thread starter binrat

Dusty, dirty back road driving. Truth be told, I have not found a mount yet that I'm happy with for the KX3 and would like that extra power for mobile. I considered a Hard Rock 50 for the mobile but less wires running around the better in my books.
I have my 718 in the mobile now. Having a very hard time with what I thought was exhaust noise RFI. Grounded the exhaust and it helped a lot, but still have trouble. My Kenwood TS-430 noise blanker handled the same install without a hitch. So, I still have some grounding to do. I have an '07 F150. You may have better luck with your vehicle.

If you haven't picked up the Icom, I would consider the Kenwood TS 50. These seem to be built Ford tough and I do see them come up for sale pretty regularly.
If you want to mount the KX3 to a smooth surface (like glass), consider the SeaSucker mounts. They are made for mounting fairly large items in a marine environment and are VERY strong:
