[Elecraft] Re： Raves about the K3

[Gary Gregory]

Hey, now what about a custom desktop case made to match the Elecraft K
series equipment with slide in/out drawers (lockable via spring loaded
screws) so that "one BIG box" shack becomes a reality.

The huge advantage is IF an issue arises, simply 'pull' the defective item
from the box and do what needs to be done but still have a somewhat
functional rig IF the K3 is not at fault.

I might even consider doing this myself so that for portable use I have just
one box to pack up when on the move.

Maybe a part number could be K3LB-500...:-)

K3 = Radio
LB = Large Box
500 = Total output power

Aaaah...nice to dream eh?

Now to think of a way to install a 'swing lifter' to heave the box from
storage to desk...:-(
