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.

With the external antenna, I have a 3.5-inch wide nylon webbing strap
that goes around my thigh. The belt clip on the radio slides onto the
webbing and the radio rests on my thigh. The buttons and knobs are
easily accessible and the LCD display is readily visible.

I always found that my portable (a little Vertex) works fine with just the
rubber duckie antenna that comes with it. I have flown hundreds of hours with
it on a light lanyard around my neck.
