This is mounted just below the rear window on a truck.

4. Connect the extension cable into the jack of the transceiver and run it to where you are going to have the face.

   Note: Do not mount the face plate holder where the face might be exposed to extended periods of direct sunlight.


This Yaesu mount uses the driver side floor seat bolt.

7. Insert the cable behind the face holder through the hole and plug it into the jack. Do not plug it into the mic jack!
8. Connect the antenna and power to the back of the Yaesu transceiver.
