Removing head unit regularly

James G5JIM All Messages By This Member #41844 Hi all, Apologies if you’ve already seen this post on Facebook. I’ve just mounted my IC7000 using a DM5AL separation kit in my car and was planning on removing the head unit between use, just wondering if this is ok or might cause issues? I’ve noticed that the retaining clip that pulls back on the head unit has got scratched a hit it the post on the DM5AL mount and wondering if this might cause issues longer term, also wondering about wear on the spring pins pins in the head unit, just wondering if these parts or any others are likely to break and if so if they are replaceable with parts available! (P.s Ive read that the base unit needs unplugging from power when the head unit is attached/detatched so I’ll fit a switch in the power cable) Thanks James photo-28.jpg

Dave . All Messages By This Member #41850 开云体育 Yes...I would agree...but in over 10 yrs...on a radio thatbis loved by so many...why wouldn't you entertain that option...the remote head cable was always awkward and I could never understand the reason for the why they set it up the way they did...it is so awkward in a mobile setup.? That cable is always in the way...yaesu..kenwood.? they hide theirs in the back... toggle quoted message Show quoted text -------- Original message -------- From: "James F.
