Hi David,

Thanks for your quick reply and excellent information.  I’m all for simplicity and I’d love to get rid of the radio out front and mount it in the storage compartment of the harness.

I don’t speak on the eadio other than prior to launch so that’s not much of a factor. However my good ear is on the left and if I could place the speaker/mic on the left harness strap that would be ideal.

You wrote that you use a clip for your setup. I don’t think this one comes with a clip. It doesn’t seem to say anyways. My harness shoulder straps do have Velcro patches for accessories  I have a hook knife on one side currently.

if I can’t find a place to mount it,  I could always send it back to Amazon I think

thanks again for your help.
