I've thought of making my own. I can't bend sheet steel or even aluminum in such narrow cross section but some 1 1/2" aluminum channel should work for the front and back panels. Everything else is flat stock.

The sharp edges on the channel could be dressed by filing. I'd probably try it on a router table with a carbide round over bit for better precision. I haven't done this before but I've successfully cut aluminum plate on a table saw. I would assemble the plates using bar stock and screws like I did 30 years ago when I was building amplifiers. For example: http://sadxa.org/n7ws/Left%20Interior%20View.jpg Sort of like Elecraft's "2D" fasteners.

I suppose I could just get another kat500 for Ant. 2, but I don't have 6 
antennas.

Anyone done this?

I'd love to have an (unpunched) KAT500 enclosure. I have some misc stuff that
could mount in one and it would get the K3 to the same height as the
KAT500/KPA500 combo.

Maybe a new product line?

We don't have any current plan to offer the enclosure by itself.
