Welcome, N4MU Papi. For suggestions you have come to the right place, we are full of suggestions. Personally, I use a Yaseu FT-450 both at home and on the road. I don't have a HF in any vehicle, simply because I can't crawl around under it to hook up all the chassis grounds that these plastic cars need. But, if you are up to it the FT-450 is small in size and should be able to fit in many applications. A very good receiver and as good as any transmitter. Never had anyone complain about the stock hand held mike they provide. Another choice would be a FT-857D for HF/VHF/UHF. Very small size and removable face plate for really small footprint in the cabin. Either would be in your price range.
Good luck, whatever the choice, they all work or they wouldn't be able to sell them.
