3.3 Preparing for Operation
Each installation or deployment will have its own specific tasks
according to the application and the installed hardware.
3.3.1 Mobile Installation
For mobile applications such as aircraft or vehicle, the STRATA
TX System is usually mounted in a bulkhead or compartment
using an MRC Fixed Mounting Bracket. See Figure 3-5.
Mounting brackets are available to mount from one to three
units.
Figure 3-5: Fixed Mounting Bracket
The cabling is permanently installed and power comes from
aircraft (or vehicle) power.
3.3.2 Portable Deployment
For situations where you need to mount a STRATA TX System
and its Fixed Mounting Bracket to an MRC tripod, MRC also
offers a Quick Release. See Figure 3-6.
For situations where you are mounting to another type of tripod
that doesn’t directly accept the Quick Release, consult with MRC
or your tripod manufacturer. MRC has Dovetail Adapter Plates
that will convert some types of tripods to accept the Quick
Release.

Note
The versatility of the Quick Release Mount and
mating Dovetail Adapter Plate allows the Dovetail
Adapter Plate to be attached to the bottom of the
Universal Mounting Bracket and the Quick Release
Mount to be attached to a non-MRC tripod, or vice
versa.
For optional methods of attaching your STRATA TX
System to a non-MRC tripod, refer to the
“Installation” Chapter on page 6-1 (part of the
STRATA TX System Technical Reference Manual
only)
For portable applications where the STRATA TX System will be
moved from place to place and set up each time, the system will
