[TenTec] WTB: Mobile mounting bracket for Ten Tec Scout

[W5JMW]

Not sure who originally posted the question about the mounts.I apoligize for 
thinking it was a bracket type.So my reply to the original poster..Go to 
e-bay(i know that raised some eyebrows,sorry) search under radio hump 
mounts.There are quite a number that might work or at least give you a 
idea..john

up.

Looking at the Radio I don't see any "extra" holes to use a mounting
points, but a "bucket" style one is a different animal.
