I don't recommend that you tape the receiver down with double sided tape.. Two reasons: One, if you crash the tape will not hold it. Second, the receiver is too expensive to take a chance on vibration. The crystal is very delicate and might result in a problem.. I suggest that you get velcro (SP?) tape with adhesive on one of the pieces. Towers sells it. Provides good vibration protection, and it wouldn't come loose in an earthquake...Fred123[&:]
