I've seen alot of V-20s and if I had a dollar for every V20 I saw w/ the radio mounted where 'Mac_Attack' put his, I'd be rich.

The collective concience seems to have centered around this place. Inside the cabin is nice for longevity of the unit, but you dont have ready access to all the controls like the display that tells you what CH you are on. On the other hand, you prob don't want to cut a 6" X 3" hole in a bulkhead just for that easy access. A good compromise is to use the U-bracket as he has done. Also, how many other pieces of electronics can be mounted down there that way?

Also, you prob want a weatherproof unit so you dont have to take it out all the time. Should'nt be an issue in that most units are waterproof now anyway.
