ebay seems to prevent the ability to copy these photos.. so please take a moment to look at the ebay photos link I posted which show a 2299 and you'll clearly see the obviously different configuration that I have been talking about.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/C-2299-VRC-V...-/290602326866

I wonder if this alternative configuration might not actually be more user friendly as the switches would be oriented vertically when *mounted* to the top of a doghouse,?

Although...perhaps having a higher profile in this vertical orientation it would be more vulnerable to damage than the "common" version mounted on its back?

*attached* (for Alex-teehee)

or, if this configuration of the 2299 is so unusual, any theories on why that would be?

Stuart, those plastic cable mounts look very neat. I presume these are common items easily found at Addisson or electronics stores?

Marc,

I don't want to come across as a troll here, but you asked a question, and then got a very accurate answer including links to supporting publications from someone who owns and is knowledgeable about the kit, and yet you still go on to dispute it.

AHA and YIKES..now that Scotty points out this is the bottom of the unit and not the back!!!

because the first photo was cut off (unfortunately just at the point where one would see the connectors) and the second photo on ebay is slightly distorted, looking like the wider back of the unit... it gave me the impression the two male connectors are coming out the back --and not the bottom --in a different configuration...

mea culpa...and mea apologies ( pass the fork, Im having some humble pie for supper)

Ah Stuart those are excellent photos..

The ones for the dash seem to finally resolve one set of mystery holes..ie..the very small bracket above the glove box.

. It does seem strange that the de-mil guys would rip that out on my jeep, but leave the larger bracket beside it entirely intact.
thanks for those photos Great!

I liked the radio kit in the passenger side rear... I have one of the side fender mounts, but had not seen what went in those holes......... Now I know.......

I have some more pictures from past installations of radio gear, but will save those for another time.........

Cheers!

It really does bug you, doesn't it Stuart? Hilarious! I like your subtle jabs though, I really do.

IN looking at stewarts post #41 in this thread,- first picture showing an electronic unit (what exactly?) mounted on pass rear fender well. This probably answers another question I had. There are 4 holes drilled through fender approx 3in width x approx 15in apart . I had been curious what was mounted there..I presume that unit was it.

I also have two of the newer style mounting plates shown in post # 55. There is the plate itself and then two solid heavy (way overbuilt) bars to fit in the wide slots. with cutout slots for the bolts to fit through.

BTW still have a couple doghouses I could sell, and still looking for a fully functional RT524.

Thanks for the heads up Stewart.. its even not tooooo far.. but alas price wise it is far out of my range.. I may have to go forever without at that rate. and picture shown is not that of the actual unit.

of course I have a MkII 19 set to trade....

Did you ever build the amp section for the PRC 25?
