[Elecraft] KPA500 installation on side?

[Dauer, Edward]

Oops.  My error.  I read KPA1500, not 500.  Wishful thinking on my part.

Move to strike prior testimony.

       Just last week I sent the same question to Elecraft Support.  The answer I got was yes, it can be, with two caveats.  First, be sure to leave the 4 inches of free air clearance next to the top (top as in standard orientation), and don't set it so that the LEDs are on the floor.  The orientation isn't odd, really.  If it is resting on its right side the power switch will be on the rear, but very near the top edge.  That's how mine will be, when it arrives this week --- I hope..

        Can the KPA500 be installed on it's side? There are feet there. I want to
        install it in an RV and there is more room for wiring and fan air movement
        that way.
        
        A search did not turn up any answers.
