• Installation example
For a deluxe installation, take the time to install the
transceiver in the mounting bracket. The diagram
offers some mounting suggestions.
Added benefits of using the mounting bracket in your
fixed station include the following:
• You can angle the transceiver for best visibility from
your operating position.
• The transceiver remains stationary when you attach
connectors or use any of the controls.
• The transceiver is quickly detachable from the
bracket if you want to move it to your mobile or any
other alternate operating position.
• The bracket eliminates the risk of anybody bumping
the transceiver off your operating desk.
If you decide to mount the transceiver in a horizontal
plane instead of angling it up or down, use the top or
middle row of mounting holes on the bracket. The
bottom row of holes cannot be used to mount the
transceiver horizontally.
