Thread: D2 uhf mounting

I mounted mine under the steering wheel behind the panel.

Obviously a UHF with the controls on the handset is the way to go here

If you get a small Uniden or GME you can just sit it in the overhead shelf next to the rear view mirror. It fits there perfectly, and I have just stuck mine there with double sided tape. I have hooked the mic onto a hook drilled in at the back of the plastic extension of the shelf in the middle.

There is even a power and earth lead up there for the sunroof which is Acc on even if you don't have a sunroof.

I then ran a short antenna lead out into the rear corner of my drivers door and have a folding Gutter mount antenna mount. This avoids all the routing through the engine compartment and possible interference. You just drill a hole in the very corner, and make sure you have a dip in the wire outside and seal it with silastic.
Oh I had to cut away the plastic moulding under the antenna mount to get a secure fit.

Thanks all for the info & thanks onebob for the link. Didn't see that thread when looking earlier.
Time to get to work.

Yep, behind the fuse accesse is great, I have a tx3400 remote head, the body under the panel and the head under the ashtray. Just be aware that if you are using a nanacom in instrument mode and the uhf in scan mode it will cause the uhf to lock on ch 40 sometimes. There must b slight interference there somewhere. Not been able to track it yet.

I had a GME remote head unit. I mounted the head unit under the cup tray as per pic below, and the main box is under the steering column, stuck to the back of the fold out panel.

I brought an icom IC-400. I couldn't find any nice spots. As under steering colum already has a brake controller.
So mines mounted behind the centre console. Just need to mount it low enough for the lid to open fully.

I'm setup the same as CaptainJack with a TX3400. Mic clip on the drivers side is no probs. if I did it today I'd get a unit with everything on the mic which would be even neater again.
