No, nothing against hose clamps. The heatsink thingies on the back of the AF5X do seem to be shorter in the middle, and there is that loop you can put a hoseclamp through, although it looks like you could break it by torquing down the hoseclamp too agressively.
If that’s the best approach, my main problem would be the ground screw, which sticks out beyond the heatsink thingies. Just let that hit the pipe and don’t worry that it pushes the bottom of the radio out a little?

There are tabs to latch it, but I like his idea of only using the two and longer jumpers. This leaves room for the GPS connector.

So there is no Rocket bracket to clip it to? In this case I am replacing some old Trango 5010 PTP radios and using the existing Radiowaves dishes. There's a place on the back of the radio that you could pass a hoseclamp through, but that doesn't seem right, especially since the ground screw sticks out too far for that to work well. Photos anyone?
