Does this CB have to be mounted to the chassis or can i lay it on the dash?

you can lay it on the dash, but keep in mind the speaker is on the bottom of the unit and sound quality will be affected. Overall, the cobra compact is a very poor product and I would not recommend purchasing it.

it can lay on dash if u want. it has a ground wire that will have to be connected to a good ground. save your money and buy a better radio,very disappointed in mine.

it is not mounted on battery. you can mount this anywhere in the car and wired to the battery. or on the car and wired to battery.

I mounted mine on the bottom of my steering column just below the steering wheel. Out if the way but easy access for muting etc

It can be dash mounted, but it doesn't fit into your typical single or double Din factory radio slot. It comes with a bezel for dash mounting but you have to cut a custom sized hole for it.

You can mount one of two ways; flush mount with the hardware supplied or rail mount as I did with optional rail adapter; usually available from SeaSence marine supply or any marine dealer. It comes with enough coax cable and the adapter to mount to the back of your marine radio; so just route the cable where you would like it; either visible or not depending on your application. I hope this was helpful

I had it mounted on my dash very close to the assembly seam closest to the frontal dash face that the HVAC and other electronic controls reside . heavy duty double stick tape secures the unit I had it hard wired beneath the base and between the assembly seam. No drilling for either. The vehicled is a 4 wheel drive Lexus 470 that is driven offroad 10% of the time on fairly rough terrain . The device is stable enough to maintain continuous directional accuracy even with the offroad dynamics. Very clean assembly with the hard wiring that is alway prepared to illuminate once the ignition is fired . I hope that my description will fit your application . I was a bit fortunate that my preferred location from the drivers seat dove tailed at a point on the dash that prevented me from drilling any holes. Good luck from Texas.

You can mount it at any angle. You only need to open the screw slightly to break the circuit. It is a battery saver to say the least especially if you leave your vehicle parked for long periods.

Mine came with an adhesive disc that the suction cup attached to so you could mount it to the dash, as well as a lengthy cable that snaps in place on the bracket securely. It's nice.

It'll mount to a dash but you have to drill holes to keep it secure. A handlebar mount would be easier and hold just as much weight.

No. Would require adaptor and some different footing so would stay on the dash ... it is quite nice on the desktop.

The mounting bracket that the antenna screws into needs to be GROUNDED..to the vehicle if not clamped to metal on the vehicle. Your answer is YES, you need a good ground on the bracket or mount that the antenna screws into! Hope this helps..Paul

Keep in mind that you probably won't need a disk to mount this item properly to your dash. The suction cup has a tacky, reusable adhesive that allows it to stick to the majority of dash surfaces. I have it mounted to the FRONT of my dash so that the arm is parallel to the floor and it stays in place without any problems. Buy a mounting disk if you want but I think you'll find that you can do without it.

This cb is not a portable unit. It must be wired to the batteries of what ever vehicle you put it in. It takes no separate batteries.

Just the antenna, really. If you install the CB in a vehicle a magnetic mount antenna should come with a feed line that plugs into the back of the CB along with the antenna and a magnetic mount. I'm not sure if the power leads from the CB conclude to a DC car plug or terminate with no plug. I think no plug but you can purchase one at Radio Shack. There should be one that does not require soldering and installs in a few minutes.

Yes, this comes with a little plastic mount that you screw in to your dash. You have to screw it to the dash there are no existing holes to mount it.

I have a PONTIAC vibe. It has a roof antenna. The board rests on it with no issue. If your concerned get a foam block to put next to it to take the weight.

You still have to use the mounting stand. This just takes it from the window and puts it down on the dash, out of your line of sight.
