5.2 LOCATION
The radio can be mounted at any angle. Choose a mounting location that:
• is far enough from any compass to avoid any deviation in compass
reading due to the speaker magnet
• provides accessibility to the front panel controls
• allows connection to a power source and an antenna
• has nearby space for installation of a microphone hanger
• is at least 1 m away from the radio’s antenna
• the signal from the GPS satellite can receive sufficiently.
Note
: To insure the radio does not affect the compass or radios performance
is not affected by the antenna location, temporarily connect the radio in the
desired location and:
a. Examine the compass to see if the radio causes any deviation
b. Connect the antenna and key the radio. Check to ensure the radio is
operating correctly by requesting a radio check.
