   It would be nice if there were side panels to do that plus a modified top
   cover on the KAT100-1 with recessed cups for the 4 feet of the K2 to drop
   down into so that when all was said and done the radio/tuner would become
   one unit, solid side panels and flush with no gap between them along the
   front mating edge.   And wouldn't it be cool if the IO buss could be passed
   down directly into the KAT-100 instead of tying up the DB-9 connector at the
   back of both units.

Note that there is an airvent on the bottom of the K2 for cooling the
low power PA transistors, so airflow to that probably needs to be
maintained.

Otherwise you could just remove the feet of the K2.  Maybe if you also
removed the top cover of the KAT-100?  Mine is loaned out, so I can't
actually look at them.
