The frame, together with the whole transceiver, is completely enveloped by the harness cloth and its upper and bottom flaps, and therefore only the antenna and the handset protrude. Two storage pouches for storing accessories and/or spare batteries are located to the two sides.

All the flaps and covers are held by Velcro fasteners.

Figure 2-2 shows a view of the open harness, as needed to gain access for installing the equipment in it. Note the location of the battery pouch, and the transceiver retaining straps.
