I use bamboo Seville shoe racks from Costco. I have a bunch of these to store shoe boxes of various parts and cables.
https://www.costco.com/Seville-Classics-Solid-Bamboo-3-tier-Shoe-Rack,-Bronz e-Finish.product.100289769.html I have K3 + SP3 on the bottom, KPA500 + P3 in middle, KAT500, YCCC SO2R box, antenna switch, WinKey, LP-100A on the next shelf up, and I still have the top shelf top free for a phone and gear that's not in immediate use. I have a few other pieces of stuck here and there as well. Mine doesn't spin around well, though... The newer ones of these are much more rigid than earlier versions. The amp doesn't sag at all, and I have 2" of room above the amp to the next shelf. 73 de Dick, K6KR -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Nogatch Sent: Tuesday, March 21, 2017 06:19 Cc: Elecraft Reflector <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Stacking K3, KAT500 and KPA500 On Tue, Mar 21, 2017 at 4:43 AM, Jerry <[email protected]> wrote: > ... planning the layout of the station and the thought came that if I > stack the K3 at the bottom, with the KAT400 on top of the K3 with the > KPA500, it would solve the space issue.

It is pictured on slides 5, 6, and 7 of this presentation: https://www.slvarc.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Homebrew_2015.pdf There is enough separation between the units to allow free air flow. The cabling is still a mess, but easier to work on versus side-by-side as shown in slide 4. -John AC6SL ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
