[Elecraft] K3 : Rack Mount Option?

[Tom]

Hi
I looked at this for a while. With many radios and often swapping antenna 
cables and panadapters it was a nightmare just sitting on my table. Looking 
on Kijiji, I saw lots of rack mounts complete with power distribution units 
for $40 to $60./  I bought 2 and mounted them both on lazy Suzanne 
turntables.  Problem solved.
Can turn them 180 degrees with full access to the back.  Any yes, with 
shelves, The K3 and P3 mount side by side.

I use fixed rack shelves that have an inside dimension of 17.5". At
several Denver-area swap meets I have displayed the Elecraft banner with
the K-Line in a short rack cabinet. The K3(S) + P3 (on the right side)
fit on one shelf with the feet and the handle in place. No need to
remove anything, nor make a special attachment of the units. The KPA500
+ W2 meter go on another shelf.

The rack and shelves (2U) were purchased from BSW (https://bswusa.com).
Let me know if you'd like a picture of the demo rack.
