[Elecraft] KPA500 Cooling

[Gary Gregory]

*Hi Guy's,

I have mine under the K3 sitting on the desktop and this makes the height
of the K3 just right for me. I now don't use the bails on anything. My P3
is on top of the KPA500 on the left as you look at them so my airflow is
not restricted at all.

YMMV......
