Why not? Mine is horizontal but it's been vertical a lot in testing. It even has feet on the side, nominally for transport but there are no moving parts other than the fan so it should make RF the same way.
As Guy noted, leave the necessary clearances on the back and top for ventilation. Hmmmm.... will standing it on one end cause it to send vertically polarized to the antenna? :-) Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brian Alsop Sent: Thursday, October 06, 2011 4:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Positioning of the KPA500 Horizontal desk space is indeed in short supply. Wide screen monitors have been a real negative impact. Odd question: Can the KPA-500 be rotated 90 (book in bookcase form) and operated that way to save horizontal desk space? One can imagine putting it on a desk end to still allow cooling.
