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.  
.  
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.  
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
