I have a TX3200 (I think that is what it is - little skinny thing) mounted in the map holder of a 97 Disco. I installed it myself, picking up power from the light. I did not use any of the mounting brackets, just slid it in the gap. Have since done the Gibb River Rd, up to
Mitchell falls and the Bungles all without any problem. The UHF was very useful, particularly on the tarmac with wide loads. I mounted the antenna half way dwn the bonnet using a z-bracket and one of the existing screws roughly near the ABS braking manifold so the bracket sits in the bonnet gutter. from here you can run the cable into the vehicle through a hole behind the glove box (take it out to make life easier while fitting). From there its easy to remove the trim up the door post and run the lead across to the radio. I know next to nothing about radios and such like so this took me about an hour and a half to install, others would do it much quicker.
