[Heathkit] Warrior as a rack-mount

[Rick Poole]

Couple of questions for any of you who may have tried to rack-mount a 
Warrior without its cabinet.

1.  Is the cabinet an integral part of the shielding so that if I try 
to run it outside the cabinet, the shielding will be compromised and 
interference to other services might result?  I found this to be an 
issue with the DX-100 but not with the Marauder which has its own 
internal shielding.

2.  When I rack-mounted my Marauder, I found that the chassis, and 
the screw heads from some mounting screws, were too wide to fit in 
the rack, and I had to grind off about 1/8" from each rail in the 
rack to make it fit.  Am I likely to run into the same problem with 
the Warrior?

I'm aware that the holes in the front panel do not line up with the 
standard holes in a rack (sure would like to know WHY Heathkit did 
this...).  I had to drill and tap some new holes in the rack to match 
up with the Marauder and will do the same for the Warrior (if/when I get one).

Thanks...
