[Elecraft] Can P3 Be On Top of K3?

[Rick Tavan N6XI]

No reason not to put the P3 on top of the K3 and that is what I presently
do in my SO2R station. This keeps everything compact, in easy reach, with
minimal hand and eye movement which I appreciate for contesting. I have a
long shelf supported by 2x4s on edge. The keys and SO2R Box fit nicely
under the shelf. The K3s are on the shelf, bails extended, with the P3s on
top of the K3s.

I used to have another long shelf above the K3s, just tall enough to clear
them with bails in use, and had the P3s on that shelf, maybe 2" higher than
they are now. That worked, too. It provided more room for other accessories
but got awkward for positioning the large monitor.

"Ergonomics are us" in my station.
