From there they just drop down and loop back up to a window\nnear the radios & rotator controller.\n\nAnother thing that works well for me with such a generic platform with so\nmany horizontal & vertical mounting surfaces is that it's very easy to\nattach accessories as-needed. For instance, I house the S-Band\ndownconverter in an outdoor electrical box that already had knock-outs in\nthe bottom (used for LMR-400 in this case), a weather-resistant door, and\nholes for mounting. If I need a place to temporarily attach something\nexperimental, it's never a problem.\n\n-Scott\n\n===========================\n\nOn Mon, Jan 14, 2019 at 12:47 PM Jeff Davis <[email protected]> wrote:\n\n> Very nice!
