Most of the zip ties inside the Panduit were clipped out last night...
I used them only to hold/form cables together as I run them in the
Panduit.
I will leave the wire ties at the entry and exit points to the Panduit
to assist in keeping things tidy as they enter, or exit the Panduit.
But... Given it is a patch panel, and the cables to it are specifically
designed for the radio I use, (K3), changing configurations won't be a
huge issue.
That is the reason for the patch panel in the first place, avoid
rewiring for every change.
If I want to move antenna, or if I want to feed the output of the radio
IF to an SDR, I just add a patch, if I want to bypass the tuner, I just
patch around it... You get the idea...
73, and thanks,

My son is a robotics engineer and designer, so I knew he would be
interested in the panel, which in my opinion is a work of art.
He did make the following helpful comment, though:
"Looks like it will be pretty nice! I want to know why he's zip tying
everything inside the Panduit though. I've always used it to
specifically avoid zip ties and still have a clean result. Gonna be
annoying when he wants to change something!"

I ABSOLUTELY understand, and identify! <big smile>
Could you clue us in on how you sourced/built that panel? I'd love to
have access to something like that!

Thanks Clay... I decided to add the patch panel because I am sick of
haveing to rewire everything I want to change an antenna! That and
it feeds my OCD issues. :)

That is some really first rate work.... <big smile> I dig it when
folks are fastidious about their cable routing and otherwise
organize things logically.... and NEATLY!!

I am undertaking a full rebuild of my operating position, note the
Patch Panel does not say K3 on it... That means I can replace
things with a K4 later... :)
