•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 radios performance is not affected by the antenna location, temporarily connect the radio in the de- sired 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.
