Re: Radio mounting position

Never mount it underneath the chassis. Although there is no rule on this, experience tells us that the antenna should be mounted in the clear (but in a protected spot) and as far away from metal objects as is possible to insure good communication with the OI. The LEDs will tell you a lot about operation if you are having a problem.
