Steve KW5TX asked: I also...would like to mount the K2 and EC2 in a rack mount case for transport in and out of my RV .. I need brackets... any ideas? anyone done this?
---------------------------- Holy Mackerel! I haven't seen a rack mount since the last time I tilted an 807 with Marconi! (Jes' kidding. Actually Gugliemo died the year before I was born.) The two screws on the sides near the front of the K2 look just about right to take a couple of short sections of 1" aluminum angle stock (sold at most hardware stores) to provide "ears" for a rack or other suitable opening. While those 2D connectors should take the strain just fine, for a really robust RV environment in which you might be going over bumpy roads and throwing a lot of G-forces on the rig (especially in the vertical axis), I'd be inclined to add a couple more screws to attach the ears very securely to the side panels.
