[Elecraft] Mounting the ETS15 stand on the KAT100

[Ron Willcocks]

Hi All,
          Tonight I installed the ETS15 stand onto my KAT100 and while the
job was easy enough, I found that one of the mounting bolts was actually
touching the pins of U1  when the lid was re-installed.
Luckily I was a bit suspicious of the amount of clearance, and had taken the
side panels off to make sure.
During construction of the KAT100 I hadn't bothered trimming the leads of
U1's socket, but it was certainly nescessary with the stand installed.
Perhaps something to be aware of if you intend installing the stand?
In case I am asked "why the stand on the KAT100"?......With the 1.5" stand
under the ATU, the K2 sits flat on top (with its bale folded) and the result
is a K2/ATU module at a nice operating height. I like it.
