For optimum performance, find a location that can:  Properly support the weight of the radio, approximately 2.2 pounds or 1.1 kilograms. You may need to use some type of anchor with the mounting screws to hold the radio, depending on the surface.  Keep the battery leads as short as possible.  Keep the antenna lead-in wire as short as possible.  Allow free air flow around the heat sink on the rear of the radio.  Avoid interference with the ship's compass. 32 English
