Not a problem, this combo with a shoulder strap can be clamped in various ways to the cockpit frame and you’re good to go with a beacon radio.  Not sure what you do for an antenna, maybe just trail a wire.  I had two of them NOS, still have one.  Here’s another variant, the Model B-3.  Both are compact five tubers using 6 volt metal tubes.  Innovative packaging.
