A GND bolt fixes the bracket to the vehicle body and electrically connects between the bracket and the vehicle body. An amplifier cover is fixed to the bracket to cover the amplifier substrate. An elastic member is provided covering the outer periphery of the amplifier cover between the amplifier cover and the vehicle body. The elastic member is compressed as the amplifier cover is pressed against the vehicle body.
