ITS HEAVY DUTY TUBULAR NYLON WEBBING HANDLE.  LOVED IT.  THE BASIC CARRIER
IS MADE FROM 0R090 INCH THICK ALUMINUM WITH A DURABLE POWDER COAT FINISH.
IT HAS COLLAPSIBLE STEEL SIDE RAILS THAT ADJUST FOR HEIGHT BY LOOSENING
SCREWS, SLIDING THE SIDES UP OR DOWN, AND THEN RETIGHTENING THE SCREWS.
THE IDEA IS TO PROTECT, ORGANIZE, TRANSPORT, AND USE YOUR RADIO AND
PERIPHERALS IN POTENTIALLY DEMANDING FIELD LOCATIONS.  THE TRC 1 CARRIER
INCLUDES A TILT BAIL, AND HOLES PUNCHED AT THE FOUR TOP CORNERS WILL ACCEPT
THE RUBBER FEET OF ANOTHER TRC 1 FOR STACKING.  THE INTERNAL FULLY OPENED
DIMENSIONS ARE 4R8 INCHES HIGH, 7R5 INCHES WIDE, AND 10R5 INCHES DEEP.
WITH THE ADJUSTABLE SIDE RAILS, THE INTERNAL HEIGHT CAN BE REDUCED TO 2R5
INCHES, PERFECT FOR MY SS 30, WHICH FIT LIKE A GLOVE.  THE OPTIONAL TOP
COVER IS SECURED TO THE TOP OF THE CARRIER WITH EIGHT MATCHING BLACK PAN
HEAD SCREWS, WHICH ARE PROVIDED.  SLOTS PROVIDE FOR VENTILATION, MOUNTING
OF SPEAKERS, LIGHTS, RADIOS WHICH IS WHAT I MOUNTED ON IT, AND VIRTUALLY
ANY OTHER SMALL PERIPHERAL IMAGINABLE A TNC, FOR EXAMPLE.  ANOTHER OPTION
IS THE HTH 1 HANDHELD RADIO HOLDER/FRONT COVER, WHICH MOUNTS TO THE TOP
COVER BY LOOSENING TWO OF THE TOP COVER SCREWS, POSITIONING IT USING THE
HOLES, AND THEN SLIDING IT INTO PLACE SEE FIGURE 17.  WITH THE SLOTS, THE
POSITION IS ADJUSTABLE.  THE FUNCTIONS OF THIS BRACKET ARE TWO FOLD.
