[TowerTalk] champion radio replacement clamp for orion 2800

[Mark Robinson]

I am using the Champion clamp and have had no problems with it.  I noticed 
that the Champion u bolts were a little too short to put spring washers 
under the u-bolt nuts, so I used blue loctite to make sure that the nuts 
couldn't vibrate loose. So far so good. I don't expect any problems with the 
nuts coming loose.
