Non-standard radio installations
The installation U-bracket described in this guide has been
designed so that there is enough airflow around the radio
to provide cooling.
If a non-standard installation method is used, care must
be taken that sufficient heat can be dissipated from the
radio heatsink fins and the bottom surface of the
radio chassis.
For this to be achieved, there must be a gap of more than
10mm (3/8 inch) between the bottom surface of the radio
chassis and the mounting surface. This is illustrated in the
following diagram.
Negative ground supply

ground system.
