Default Portable/handheld radio

Can anyone give me ideas how and where to mount the radio? I am thinking on
the panel (if there is room) with the antenna up far enough to give it some
exposure. If you have any, please email me some pics of your mounting
technique.


First, I'd recommend borrowing a handheld and trying it out in your
plane. Many older planes that don't have electrical systems, also
don't have very good shielding on the ignition systems. I've flown
some old Champs and Cubs that had so much ignition noise that the
handheld was useless. Best to try it out before you buy.
