Notes for making the mounting hole
The IC-A210/IC-A210E can be mounted securely in the
supplied mounting bracket.
Remember to allow adequate space for installation of cables
and connectors.
When installing 2 or more transceivers in a stack, the mount-
ing trays should be 1.3 mm
(0.05
″
)
apart.
The mounting bracket has 0.6 mm
(0.024
″
)
dimples in the
top, bottom, and both sides for proper spacing.
Mark and cut the mounting holes.
To support the mounting bracket, the rear mounting bosses
should be attached to the airframe.
