I have a good handle on my coax cables. I use a MFJ-4726/RC which has
6-inputs and 6-outputs, and can be placed under the bench as the switching

the radios for all the other interconnects, all I did was label the

and attaching it to the back of the operating desk. The cables are then simply
laid in the channel created by the attachment. This eliminates the tangle that
comes from the cables dangling off the back of the operating position w/o the

If you have more than one radio and / or more than one amp combo you might
want to look at what a K3 owner - KR5L has created to simplify the cable

unique 6 position linear amplifier RF and amplifier relay input coax switch

The most amazing station I've seen in terms of cable management is the DR1A
M/M station. It's what you'd expect from German engineering. Every band
had its own room with a radio and destop amp and all fed into their amp
room with monoband, homebrew amps. There was not an exposed cable to be

I am constantly disassembling/reassembling my K3 station because of lightning.
Disassembling is pretty easy blindfolded. I move the K3 forward to be sure
everything is disconnected.
To reassemble:
--Put K3 on right side feet
--Attach 3 antennas (ANT1, ANT2, and Aux for second receiver)
