Hi Ted, The KPA1500 RF deck does have a tilt stand. I can't tell you how high it is because I don't use it. If you want, I'll be glad to check it for you.

Getting closer to placing an order for a KPA-1500 -- -- electrician is, at last, coming Monday to see if or how 240 VAC can be brought to the shack. Meanwhile, in reading the KPA1500 Manual I saw no mention of a tilt stand, and the photos don’t show one. Is there, or could there be? Weight should not be a problem. The KPA1500 RF deck weighs 22 lbs, compared to almost 31 lbs for the KPA500 with a KAT500 on top. If there is no official tilt stand, could the front feet be propped up on home-made props to have the angle match the neighboring K3 and P3, or would that degree of tilt restrict access for the lower rear panel connectors? I can’t tell those detailed dimensions from the pictorials . . . . Any other reason not to do something like that?
