Post by: Bryn on May 01, 2013, 10:01:04 PM
Getting a Pure Highway DAB radio hand delivered Monday.  :cool: comes with waterproof Otterbox and ram mount, plus power lead and external magnetic Aerial... Should be an improvement on my Asda battery DAB.

Will post pics when it's installed.  :yes:

I have a Pure Highway I would love to use but can't find anywhere to mount it. I googled Otter Box but can't find anything for it. Can you point me in the right direction or post pics or both please?

Phill, checked Deb's link and its not obvoius which Otterbox fits the Pure Highway...

I've got a Pure Highway, OtterBox, RAM arm and balls, and an external aerial and power cable  being hand delivered for a grand total of £50 monday morning... :banana:

When I get it I'll post some pics to give  a better idea of how it will mount.  :cool:

I might not be the best PC user in the world, but I did manage to find the otterbox site when googling otterbox. There is no reference to Highway or RAM so I am still none the wiser

Well... got the Pure Highway, and in fact its a RAM box that came with it, not an Otterbox as suggested..... but saying that it fits nicely in the tank storage compartment, and came with a magnetic whip aerial.... so the main puzzle was where to mount the aerial......

Nowhere magnetic to stick it to , and to be honest I wouldn't trust it anyway..... so started stripping the panels and found what I hope to be a good place for it.....

Behind the offside middle fairing panel is a thick strip of foam..... so this is what I've done...

Nearly upright ,and totally out of the way...... the cable feeds into the tank storage box... I put a small steel bracket under it, which provides a rest , and its magnetic, although I also added a bit of double sided foam tape.... with the cable tie I think its fairly stable

Tried to hardwire the power supply... failed as I blew a 2amp fuse and didn't have any to replace.. but I think when I get  some replacements I may just use the accessory socket for the time being.......
