6 INSTALLATION

6.1 LOCATION

The radio can be mounted at any angle. Choose a mounting location that:
• keeps the radio and microphone at least 1 m away from your vessel's
magnetic navigation compass
• provides accessibility to the front panel controls
• allows connection to a power source and an antenna
• has nearby space for installation of a microphone hanger
• the antenna must be mounted at least 1 m from radio
Note: To insure the radio does not affect the compass, or that the radios
performance is not affected by the antenna location, temporarily connect the
radio in the desired location and:
a. Examine the compass to see if the radio causes any deviation
b. Connect the antenna and key the radio. Check to ensure the radio is
operating correctly by requesting a radio check.
