To effectively use the Mini on the desk in a "close to the operator" 
position and the K3/100 at the back of the desk in its normal position 
would require that only a single cable run from the Mini to the K3/100 
be used. RX audio would be picked up from the K3/100 as normal and 
key/mic inputs would also be directly to the K3/100. To do this any 
other way would clutter the desk with too many wires. I don't think 
using the Mini for this purpose was planned on - perhaps in the future.

In the interim, I am going to mount the K3/100 on a tracked and 
rotatable shelf (visualize as drawer hardware with a lazy Susan on it) 
with a total height of 3/4". I am a pretty good cabinet maker, so it 
should finish well and look good whether pulled out or pushed back. A 
proper cable tie job will be required, but that will eliminate some 
other associated problems anyway. If it works well, I will save a lot of 
money.
