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.



Do you use a hand held mic? If yes, does the handheld have a standard
aircraft type mic jack?

Do you use the speaker that is on the hand held, or do you have some type of
head phones?

I tried to use my iCom in a J3 once. Could hardly hear it. That is when
I bought the headset adapter to interface with the radio. If you have a
handheld, buy the headset adapter.
