[Elecraft] Equipment placement

[David Bunte]

I have enjoyed the discussion and pictures of equipment stop etc... but was
a bit surprised by the number of photos I have seen of the KAT500 sitting
atop the KPA500.

I borrowed a KAT500 from a friend and placed it on top of my KPA500 because
I was just testing it and knew that would not be a long term arrangement.
I now own a KAT500 and my KPA500 sits on top of the tuner.   PERHAPS the
cooling of the amp is not too severely impeded by placing the tuner on top
of the amp, but I did not want to take any chances.... and Elecraft clearly
states that the tuner is designed to be able to support the weight of the
amp.

Regardless of where it sits, the combination sure works nicely. My shack is
small, and I don't have other gear to accomodate, so my station layout was
very straightforward.
