[Elecraft] KPA500 - stacking possibilites

[Dick Dievendorff]

Just for operational convenience I'd consider stacking them the other way,
with the K3 VFO A knob at a convenient height for tuning and the amplifier
above the K3.  

I've found some very handy open-shelving bamboo "shoe racks" at CostCo that
are doing the job for me.  My amplifier is about 2 inches above the K3. The
rack is wide enough for a K3, P3, and another box such as a rotator
controller or a US Interface Navigator.  The 2nd shelf hosts a second K3 and
a KPA500.  The top shelf has two speakers and various junk that I gather. 

I've found these racks so useful that I have 5 or 6 of them.  I can hold QSL
boxes on them and some plastic shoe boxes that hold various projects.  I
have a lot of little projects and boxes.

Dick, K6KR

Now that I have received confirmation of the delivery, I need finalize where
I am going to place my new KPA500. Given a very limited desk size (ony 34
inches wide), I wonder if the K3 can be stacked on top of the KPA500. I
undertand from earlier posts that there needs to be a minimum half inch
clearance on top of the KPA500 for the air intake grill. Has any FTer
stacked the two boxes to see if they work without generating too much heat?
