[Elecraft] KPA1500

[Bill Johnson]

The issue would be future shipping for whatever reasons.  I can unpack here but other shipping or handling issues put it above what I can handle for personal reasons based on total weight.  I sold my THP 2.5KFX because of weight.  I was stressed to max.  Glad it is gone.  The KAP500 is super light for all it does.

No special arrangements should be necessary.
When the large box is delivered, he can open it (without any need to lift it), and remove the two boxes one at a time.

If he cannot easily remove the two boxes from the larger one because it is a tight fit, it is easy to bend one flap down and roll the box over that flap and over again so the box is sitting on its open end.  Then it is easy to lift the outer box off with no struggle.
The way the gear is packaged, it will survive that "rolling over" with no harm at all.

I do that regularly at trade shows for the K3, and more recently the
KPA1500 because it is difficult to lift the units vertically out of the box due to the tight fit and the resistance of the foam shipping material to the sides of the box.  Much easier to roll it over and lift off the box.
