[Elecraft] height of k4 with legs extended

[Dick Dievendorff]

I have my monitor on a little 3” shelf, and it’s straight ahead. It’s a 34” monitor, wide enough that the K3 is way off to the side.  I’m using Costco shoe racks currently and everything is off to the side of the monitor.  But I’m thinking of station rework while “staying safe at home”…

 

I’m using a K-Pod for VFO tuning and mostly use a logging program for big excursions.

Hi  Dick

   Thanks I will probably move my monitor  to slightly above 7 inches.

At present it is a little bit too high over my k3.    The monitor bottom is 9.5 inches up from the table that the k3 sits upon.

I do not like looking up.

I am going to ponder this a bit

I just measured my KPA1500 as 6-3/4".  I used a tape measure, I could be off
a little. 

I don't have a K4 here, but I've seen one side by side with a KPA1500. The
intent is that they're the same sized box and that they line up with bottom
bail extended.

I'd allow a little extra room for airflow (and my measurement accuracy).  I
believe air is intended to come in from the top and out the back. I don't
know the K4 specification for airflow clearance.

KPA1500 air comes out the top and bottom edge, and an inch of free airflow
space is required above the amp. I wouldn't expect the K4 to require any
more than that inch of airflow space.

Hi
Anyone know the height of the k4 with front legs extended.   I am going to
mount a monitor suspended over it.
bye Richard
