How about an overhead console type unit that you can build for about $12.00?
I took a piece of shelf bracket (you know the type) and measured it so that it would fit from each side of the roll bar. The bracket I used had 2 rows of 2 slots. I cut out the section between the slots so that I could get a large hose clamp thru it. It sounds kind of funny, but once you tighten the clamps, that bracket wont go anywhere.
Now, simply mount your cb or ham rig to it. I have been using this setup for almost 2 years and have never tightened up the clamps. I have a Radio Shack CB unit on mine as well as my Yaesu FT2800 2 meter ham unit. I have used this with both my hardtop and soft top setup with no problems. The jeep club I'm in has several members that have used this setup. I'll post some photos so you can see how well it works. I'm also going to run 12 volts up to it as well so that I'll have an extra power source. I'm also thinking about adding another bracket, set up the same way, with a 1X3 board in between it. That will give me a shelf and making wire management easier.
