where do others mount their UHF microphone

with in hands reach do you think, geeeezzzzzzzzz

A single loop around the stubby lever and drop the mike into the passenger foot well. No drilling required ;-).

I wish that was the only problem I had to worry about.!

Gee, you ask a simple question and you get some real dozy answers. Get a life guys, why belittle someone who has a genuine enquiry?

A friend of mine has used one of those small fishing reel type devices that you put on your belt and attach security swipe cards or keys to, the device automatically "reels in" any slack in the line. My friend has this device hooked up near the rear vision mirror and attached to the mike, when he pulls the mike down it unwinds easily and when released rewinds the mike up to the rearvision mirror. I will be fitting one myself as I see it as a good way of seperating my two mikes.

I have mine at a spot near to the top of the dash Kata, I have used double sided tape, so no holes and the GME clip has enough flat surface to achieve it. Best if it can be seen with peripheral vision to be able to grab it, rather than feel for it.

I made some brackets to hang of my GPS mount, it takes care of two microphones. It's sort of blocks easy access to the heater controls, but I use the microphones a lot more that I twiddle the heater control knobs.

The little stainless steel hook you can see holds the microphone for my IC-2800H, I made another that hold the mic for my IC-400PRO. One day I'll update the pics.

This takes care of two of my microphones, now I only have two more to find homes for!

Firstly I agree with Kiwi Kia.
Now, to the problem, you obviously asked the question because you're hesitant in drilling holes in your dash. What I did in the GU is find a panel around the sterio that was easily removable, go to the wreckers and get the said panel, remove and store yours, then drill as many holes into the wreckers one as you wish, when you go to sell the car simply swap panels.

Have a small magnet on the dash with double sided tape, glued a small washer on the rear of the microphone, works a treat

Works fine in any conditions on any roads. Been there done that as the sticker on our window says - it also says "How do you get back" which is very appropriate for us

You've had number of do-able solutions.

For what it is worth, and depending on where you have the radio, I put my hook on the back of the centre console. Just reach down from either front seat and take it off the hook when we need it.

Bit of a nuisance as the grandkids tend to knock the mike off its hook, but does no harm.

IF you have a dummy dash switch in a convenient spot, you can screw the clip holder to the face of the dummy switch. When you want to trade the car, just get a new dummy switch to pop in there - that's been my preferred option.

Kata,

I have a 'clip-on' attachment that clicks (or clips) on to the vents - it covers about half on a 100s but it is designed to hold PDAs, phones etc... I just drilled a hole and screwed the mic holder on - then clipped it on. Works well, looks good and never failed.

I think I found the link on EO.

Mine just hangs off the rear view mirror

Zip tied to the dash mat works for me

Ahh... the forum come through. Great lot of suggestions guys. I like a couple that I have not seen or heard of also. In the newer vehicles it is becomming more & more difficult to preserve the interior and still mount various essentials and toys. This forum is a great place for people to pass on their ideas and long may it continue.

Provided ur not a smoker, I used the existing holes which attach the ash tray surround to the underside of the dash, you just need to make up a basic L bracket with holes that line up with the exisitng ones, easy.

Kata I bought avter market plastic mounts and double side taped then to the GU dash on a flat spot, one for the UHF and one for the 27meg, (which is now empty:( ). works great for me although I do like Spikes idea, I wonder if his GF can come along on my trips.
