[Elecraft] My K2 is a Low Rider!

[Ken K3IU]

JT:

To give you another data point, I just measured my K2 (#5413) and it is 
slightly *higher* in the front. With the bail not extended and measuring 
from the bottom of the side panels to the tabletop at the front and rear.

Front Clearance ~15/32 in
Rear Clearance  ~27/64 in

Both +/- eyeball error. Both sides were about the same.

73,
