The front of the chassis has an aperture for the control-head connector. 
The control-head seal is fitted inside a groove around the flange at the front 
face of the chassis and provides for IP54 class protection when the control 
head is fitted. Two dot-dash-dot marks at the underside side of the chassis 
indicate the leverage points for removing the control head from the radio 
body.
The sides of the chassis contain two of the four screw bosses to attach the 
radio to the U-bracket of the installation kit.
For heat dissipation, the chassis has heat fins at the rear, grooves at the 
bottom, and holes in the front. 
The heat fins at the rear of the 50W/40W radio are longer than those of the 
25W radio. The grooves at the bottom of the 50W/40W radio are deeper 
than those of the 25W radio.
For additional heat dissipation, the 50W/40W radio has an additional 
L-shaped gap pad 
1) between the chassis and the main board.
