[Elecraft] K2 TO kat100 attachment

Tue Aug 19 09:05:02 2003

I went to a fabric store and purchased some Velcro.  It came in squares 
that were rectangular in shape.  Three of them fit nicely between KAT100 & 
K2/100.  I used the small feet that came with the KAT100 and mounted them 
under the K2/100.  The feet and stand under the K2/100 I mounted under the 
KAT100.  The K2/100 sits closely atop the KAT100 and it took 3-4 layers of 
Velcro.  Hooks on both the K2/100 and the KAT100 with a sheet of loops back 
to back between.  It is very stable and I use it in the home & in the 
car.  With the KAT100 now mounted on the table at a sharp angle, the coax 
connectors hit the table & the back legs are lifted off.  I solved this by 
putting three right angle 90 degree coax adapters on the antenna jacks of 
the KAT100, thus pointing the PL-259's straight up.  Now the rig is stable 
with all legs on the floor & protects the finish of my table.

Good Luck!
