Hi
I have both the TW1 and the TW2 and never had an issue. I am using RG 58 or RG 174 in the shack. The meter sits on top of a two meter mobile. I am rarely on the air but it is nice having the meters for when I am. I suppose if one did have an issue with the meter moving, some Velcro would help. Either that or one may try screwing it down. That seems a little drastic.
God bless,
Mark

Ditto, here. It's never been a problem.
