Uses batteries. Batteries seem to go belly-up at the most inopportune times. That's why I installed the radio. I communicate to the other cars in the Caravan quite well, for long periods of time, with great range and clarity. I usually ride mid caravan or I can do tail-end charlie to keep track of the caravan continuity on long cruises. If need be, I use 5, 10 or 40 watts of power. 5 seems adequate for most rides.

1) Being inverted, the main lobe (pattern) of the antenna is below the horizontal instead of above it
2) RF field exposure questions

when running no more than 5 watts... and using a handheld antenna, the RF exposure is no more than a handheld would be. Never go above 5x TX and you'll be fine.
I've run my particular setup in multiple Corvettes; worked fine for years & years. True, no better performance than a handheld... but I didn't want the hassle of a handheld either.
