Looks like one for the Trio/ Kenwood TR9130 or its 70cm version.

The TR9130 is a 2m multimode, still quite popular. There was a 70cm version
but I don't recall the number.

I may fit the earlier TR9000

Too wide for that I think - it looks like there's a slot in the rig that
slides onto the mount, then the silver tabs lock it in by expanding in
the slot.

You could try sticking it into the amp below it and turn down the
squelch once everyone has gone to bed ;-)

I didn't ignore it - just that Roger's picture confirmed it beyond any
arguing - even you lot on here can't argue with that!
