Re: Mounting New Radio

If you leave the status lights exposed, I suppose you could mount the velcro on the smooth top instead of the bottom. Attached are photos of how we tried mounting it this way when it was being gang tested with a 5v switch. It's too unsteady for competition use though. We just wanted easy access to the ports and easy visibility of the status lights. The slightly rounded top worked better with an extra piece of double-sided tape under the "wings" so to speak.

We zip-tied and velcro strapped ours on when it was used in off-season competition matches.

I think for competition we might go with a 3d printed open sleeve emphasizing removability, ventilation, status light visibility, and port/power access.
