Selecting a Site
When choosing a location to install the Black Cat II Plus Radar Recorder,
keep in mind that it will need to be mounted to a pole (typically a utility
pole) or tree, so the site will need to have one of these available for use.
Use of the optional square pole mounting bracket allows for installation on
street signs like speed limit signs, yellow cautionary signs, etc.
