Recently I've been trying to a few different methods of mounting in my ute my UBCD396XT radio scanner. In the past I have used a fairly heavy duty mobile phone holder however these are no longer able to be purchased and the one that I used in the past was well past its use by date.
As the UBCD396XT has a knob on the back of it which connects to the belt clip, I have decided to find a way of using this, luckily this knob is the same size and shape as is often used on CB radio handheld microphones.
Recently I was looking on eBay and came across a stainless steel microphone mount for $5, I purchased this and have today set this up in my ute.
I removed one of the air vents from the driver's side of the dashboard and have screwed the microphone mount on to this. I have then reinstall the vent into the dashboard.
As can be seen the photos below, this is an excellent way of holding my UBCD396XT radio scanner inplace, it is on a great angle to be able to see it while driving while also keeping it secure and being very low profile in use.
