Can you stack Browning radios or do they have to be side by side. I was wondering cause I know they get warm.

I have seen plenty of them stacked and both ways, receiver on top and transmitter on top, as long as the back of the radios are clear there shouldn't be an overheating problem, if in doubt you could get a couple small 12v fans and run them off a PS. I have also seen 1" rubber feet to change out on the radios so they sit apart a little farther.
