Installation
HF SSB transceiver reference manual 2-5
Mounting the transceiver
The transceiver must be mounted in a position that:
•
allows easy access to the controls
•
allows a free flow of air through the rear cooling fins
•
is not exposed to direct sunlight
•
will not cause injury to occupants in the event of a
motor vehicle accident.
There are two types of mounting cradles that can be used
when installing your transceiver:
• code 117 mounting cradle—front entry
• code 118 mounting cradle—top/bottom entry.
Both types of cradle (supplied with six metres of DC power
cable) can be used to mount the transceiver. You must
determine the mounting position to best suit your needs.
Code 117 mounting cradle—front entry
This cradle is suitable for locations where there is enough
space available to slide the transceiver in and out.
To mount the cradle:
1. Secure the mounting cradle in position with the rotating
cam catches to the front. Ensure there is sufficient space
at the rear of the cradle to clear the transceiver heat sink
and connectors.
