2 meter radio recommendation

All you need is the Kenwood TM-D710A Mobile, with VS-3 voice Card Installed.... That was easy... I got three of them, but No Voice Cards, yet....

 

I think it also adds Recording, and Playback of Audio, as well.... It does, when installed in HF Gear....

-You will never know if anyone is monitoring a repeater, there's no way to tell if anyone is there without asking. Not like 9-1-1 at all. Fact is, repeaters are (in my experience) not manned except for maintenance.
-There are few 2M rigs that can safely run on a cigarette lighter socket. Usually, but not always, the lighters are fused below the needs of the rig. Some might get away with it set on low power.
-There are any number of brands and models that will do what you would like. I'm hesitant to mention any, since it's often a chevy-ford-dodge deal.
-Consider a hand held unit. They can run on a lighter socket and charge from it as well. Make sure you get one with an auto shutoff to avoid running the car battery down. The problem with them is usually small buttons, even for those with full fine motor control.
-Also consider one of those satellite homing signals thingusses, one button to push and they send a signal that will be seen and give a call to emergency services.
-Get the ham ticket anyway. A rig at home can have several methods to operate with reduced physical ability.
