Default A Simple Tabletop Mount Solution

I recently bought a nice nightstand to use as an operating station. I am using a mobile UHF/VHF radio as my fixed station in my RV QTH and I did not want to cause damage to the nightstand by bolting the mobile mounting bracket to the tabletop. I found a couple of wedge shaped rubber doorstops, for less than $1 each, some hardware for less than $2 dollars and viola! The new table top mount is very stable, will not tip over, and it does not slide across the smooth table surface. Additionally, the angle of the mount is perfect to make the LCD easier to read.
