[Elecraft] Location of VFO B on the K4

[Rick Tavan]

You might try my approach - I have a shelf supported by 2x4's on which my
K3 sits. The radio, with its bail extended, points directly at my eyes, the
perfect viewing angle. I put a large monitor on the shelf between two K3's
and a laptop on the desk in front of the monitor, giving me lots of screen
real estate. The K4 will work similarly. The space under the shelf protects
paddles, switch boxes, USB hubs, and other small accessories. The shelf can
be 1' wide book shelving or custom-cut press-board or plywood to place the
rig(s) at an angle, pointing "in" toward the op. Easy-peasy, inexpensive,
customizable and, IMHO, ideal.
