FYI, there's a guy selling a couple complete 900 (900, not 800) MHz M5300 systems on fleabay right now.
Although their utility is questionable unless you NEED 900 MHz, and converting them to 900 MHz amateur may be difficult if it's even possible, the asking price is low enough that they're worth it just for the accessory kits and control heads.
Within certain limits, it's very easy to configure one of these for dual control head operation.
I have an M5300 with attached control head in the trunk of my car, parked neatly in the space where the useless OnStar module used to reside, and I have a second control head installed up front. Adding the second head was dead simple. As long as the head types match I don't think you even have to reprogram the radio to accept the second head.
Somebody's going to want to snap at least one of those up.
No, I'm not the seller. I don't know the seller. I have no financial interest in the selling of those radios.
