4.1 Selecting the Mounting Position
Inspect the vehicle and determine the safest and most convenient position 
for mounting the radio. Tait recommends the use of an equipment 
mounting tray designed for the vehicle. These are available from 
manufacturers such as Havis-Shields (www.havis.com), Jotto Desk 
(www.jottodesk.com), Gamber Johnson (www.gamberjohnson.com), and 
Stewart Products (www.stewartproducts.com).
Make sure that there is sufficient clearance for the heatsink and for the 
cables. Check cable lengths.

a high-pressure cleaning device or temporarily submerged 
from an accumulation of water or other liquids.
