[C320-list] Best place to attach cockpit radio extension mic

[Jeff Hare]

Hi Mark, 

We installed the AFI Cockpit table (with some modifications) and mounted our RAM Mic to it.

See our C320 gallery:  http://bit.ly/1wNsGN7

We added the RAM Mic connector and a spare 12V plug here:

We find it convenient enough and the cord says out of the way.

Cheers!
-Jeff

Thanks, Dick, Allan, and Arthur, for your advice. I'll take another look at the pod and locker areas to see if I can fix a better location. I'll let you know.
