BCD325P2/BCD996P2: BDC996P2 Mounting Bracket

[N3GZR]

I have a previously owned BCD996P2 that I use in my shack.

I want to install a bracket, so that the speaker output is not blocked.

A generic mount will not work for me, because the holes (that I would use) in the scanner's chassis are not threaded. There are a number of 4 mm threaded holes on both sides of the chassis, but none of them match up with the hole in the outer case.

Can anyone explain or post a photo of the install of the factory mount for the BCD996P2?

Many thanks

This is the factory mounting bracket attached to the threaded holes on each side of the scanner (1 hole on each side). Your scanner doesn't have those threaded holes?

Thanks for getting back to me. Your setup is what I had in mind.

Yes, those holes are in fact threaded. I apologize for sounding a "false alarm".

Many thanks.

These 3/4 inch feet let out even more volume:

Hmmm...are you guys putting them on the bracket or right on the scanner?
