    Thanks waiting for my shipment. Don't like the idea of hanging it around my neck. Thinking of a arm band holder.

    So far I like it on my belt loop with a short leash.. don't like it flopping around. Tried it around my neck but it was getting tangled up with my rod -- especially when setting the hook.

    Yes, I figured tangled with rod, line or lure, especially when reaching over the side for a fish. Don't want that sucker flailing around tangled in a strap around my neck with treble hooks flying.

    I rigged up a way to hang it off of the lever on the side of my hydraulic butt seat. I'll upload some picks this weekend. IMO it is too big and heavy to hang around your neck.

    The belt loop is perfect and comes standard.

    Just got my Ultrex with IPilot link, belt loop attach seems the most comfortable. I am going to hook a foam floater like one uses for the boat keys to mine......It is made a bit backwards to me because the push buttons are designed to be positioned towards the top with the touch screen on the bottom, just seems backward to me. I know you can flip the touch screen but the buttons are labeled upside down and are backwards when using with the flipped screen. I did test distance for remote and it works inside my shop from end to end which is 50'. Have the unit installed but just finished the install and haven't taken it to the lake, first nice day I will go.
