The Icom part number for the back plate is MB-113. The retail price was $75, just to give you an idea what it is worth. These are not available from Icom anymore as I had called them when I was given an A-210 last year. I asked here and found one. Ask and see if anyone is willing to sell you one if you find an Icom A-210 cheap. They came with the radio, and if someone installed theirs with the Icom rack, they might have theirs laying around somewhere.

It is not the best radio, but it will work for you application.

You also might find someone in Europe that has a SL-40 laying around when they swapped it out for a 833KHZ radio.

If you PM with your email, I will send you a picture of the back plate you need.

Good luck.

Brian
I have one of these backing plates that I never used with my A210 radio.

If someone needs it, PM me.

Default There you go, just what the doctor ordered

Another RV'r stepping up to the plate to help another Rv'r out. Just got to love this site.

If not, here is someone selling a SL-40 at a good price.

The SL40 tray will work with the Icom 210 and MB113; I had to replace the Garmin for an 8.33 radio.
But I wouldn?t do it again. After two years of problems with receiving ground stations I gave up. The radio has been back to the factory, has been checked in the plane, but always kept problems receiving ground stations at a larger distance. For instance, flying from France to the UK, I could never receive London info while being mid-channel. Last weekend I installed a Trig TY 91, flew to England and got London Info crystal clear. I will keep the Icom as comm2, but the difference in quality is obvious.

Thanks for that info. Sounds like a viable alternative. However, the darn thing has been working perfectly lately so no sense sending it out for a ?No trouble found? report. Dontcha just love intermittent problems? 😡
