Mark,

Yes, you have done your homework. I don't know how that shelf and the
radio
shock mount shelf mount together. I did see a hummer this past summer
that had
the radio installed on the hump/dash and did see the shelf, but don't
remember
looking at how that shelf mounted to the radio shock mount shelf.

Yes, I think you have everything listed below for the correct set up. I
have
been able to get everything there listed there. I still don't have the
RT-524
or the R-442 however. I need to raise funds.

I don't know why they didn't make the kit with everything except the
radios
either Mark however, all I can say is, this is a branch of the
government ;-).
