[ICOM] Rack Mount

[AD5VJ Bob]

Thanks to everyone for the responses.

This  helps a lot. 

Also Dave since you have made your own racks and rack
mounts, did you put any of the dimensions or drawings on
the web anywhere.

I would like to look at them if you did.

One other question. I am going to be over the next couple
of years buying, swapping, trading, with the objective of
starting a collection of Icom classics, ect.

So that is why I was wanting to rack mount them, just
thought it would save on space being able to go up instead
of across the shack.

So the question is are there Icoms that just cant be rack
mounted or does your design allow any radio to be in the
rack?

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code
there in the first place is out front of it all.
