At one time, I had my TMV71 mounted beneath a shelf using the mobile bracket, but leaving the control head attached. When I changed desks, I did not want to put holes in the shelf, at least not yet. But leaving the TMV71 flat on the desk made it hard to work the knobs. One day while a cabinet maker was doing some work at the house next door, I gave him the dimensions of the radio, with a half inch or so added to the width, told him what I wanted to do, and asked him for a scrap of whatever wood he might have on hand. He went through the small pieces that were left over from the job, found a piece of 5/8 inch ply wood that was suitable, then cut it to my measurements. After a hand sanding job that would have caused my high school industrial arts teacher to think that maybe I did pay attention now and then, my wife stained and varnished the board to match my desk. I then put 4 stick-on rubber feet on one side of the board, and installed the mobile mounting bracket on the other. The TMV71 now sits in the bracket rather than hangs from it, and the height above the desk is just right for easy use. The rubber feet add just a little more elevation, and keep the radio from sliding around the desk. Mike Duke, K5XU American Council of Blind Radio Amateurs
