[Elecraft] P3 Goodness and questions

[Gary K9GS]

Many years ago I took a piece of oak the same length as the combined width of my K3 and P3.About 1" thick by 3" wide.On the 3" face I created a groove running the entire length set back about an inch from one edge.The dimensions of the groove are such that the rubber feet on the bails on the radio and P3 are a snug fit.I added some self adhesive feet to the bottom of the wood piece.Keeps the K3 and P3 in perfect alignment with each other.I rounded the edges and finished the wood with polyurethane. Looks really nice and I could probably make another in less time than it took me to write this email.73,Gary K9GS

When using QSY the P3 unit often slides. How do most of you prevent>the unit from sliding?I built a special clamp that goes over the top of my K3 and keeps the P3 on top from sliding backwards out of aluminum bar. Tightening the screws on the both ends clamp it to the K3 so it doesn't slide. It also comes off easily for getting into the K3 and doesn't mar the K3 case.73 Bill AE6JV-----------------------------------------------------------------------Bill Frantz        | Ham radio contesting is a | Periwinkle(408)348-7900      | contact sport.            | 150 Rivermead Rd #235www.pwpconsult.com | --Ken Widelitz K6LA/VY2TT | Peterborough, NH 03458______________________________________________________________Elecraft mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraftHelp: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:Elecraft at mailman.qth.netThis list hosted by: http://www.qsl.netPlease help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.htmlMessage delivered to k9gs at gjschwartz.com
