Most, if not all Railroad clean-cab radios had essentially a mobile radio inside, but this is the first time I've seen it as being 100% true. The Spectra series had the Spectra mobile chassis inside,but without covers and the PA section was screwed down to the chassis. The MCX100 railroad radio has an MCX100 mobile radio inside but w/o control head, instead a cable went from the radio to the actual controls.
Here is a Kenwood NX700 inside a JEM... go figure, I read they do this with iCom's equivalent too, although I must admit the Kenwood to be superior, NXDN is built on-board already, no additional cost or additional board to buy.
