Thanks to John and also Jim Rhodes, George-AI4VZ, Jeff-K2SDR who all sent the same model number.

I called RAM this morning to check on dimensions that the mount accepted; max is 3.5 inches by 1.6 inch depth which will accommodate the KX3 if you do not have an add-on heat sink like I have (adds 3/4-inch to height for 4-1/4 inch total height). The end fingers are not used as the KX3 is too long for the mount.

I decided to order the mount even though my radio is too tall as I can probably modify it by making a larger base plate. $21.99 for the mount. I also ordered the RAM-B-101U-A double ball mount (arm) that has the std 2.5 inch hole pads on each end. Its 3-3/4 inch long. cost $24.99.

RAM total with shipping $76.77 (they only ship Fedex)

I also ordered from Proclipsa, their model 213493 angled dash mount plate for my Ford F250 truck. It has the standard mounting pad that RAM uses. cost $55.49 with shipping

So my total with shipping is $132.26

I will make some pictures when I have my KX3 mounted in the truck; also pictures of other radios and KXPA-100.

thanks for all the help,

I'm thinking this RAM holder could be the one you are looking for: RAM-HOL-UN4U. This is their Universal mount and the finger clips appear to be very similar. Here is the URL: <http://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-HOL-UN4U#Specs-Features>http://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-HOL-UN4U#Specs-Features  See what you think.  :-)

This one looks good to me and I may order one myself after I verify the dimensions of the KX3 and holder. I was thinking of fitting it to a cup holder mount, but I'll look at all the options in the article. Â

Thanks for getting my attention! Â :-)
