Re: [Elecraft] K3 : Rack Mount Option?
Oh, forgot to mention. Getting racks and shelves used my musicians are far far cheaper than getting racks used in the IT community. Especially used, when all the wanna be rock stars realize they are now poor and need to get their money back. 73 -Original Message- From: Tom Sent: Friday, September 21, 2018 10:45 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 : Rack Mount Option?

I shared this a little while back. My solution isn't as slick as rack mounting, but has a smaller footprint (about 14" x 14" or so) and great ventilation. :-) http://udel.edu/~mm/ham/elecraft/rack/ 73, Mike ab3ap On Fri, Sep 21, 2018 at 9:13 PM hawley, charles j jr wrote: > My rack mount shelves have 17 1/2 inches of space.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 : Rack Mount Option?
Was just brainstorming... Maybe as I posted subsequently, you could just bond the two units togetger with additional hardware Thermal issues could be dealt with by creating an efficient thermal interface bewtween the units and adding a fan to the P3 to take the heat out the P3 mass could actually sink MORE heat than just the flat panel I don't mind actually engineering a dedicated solution... I'm not contemplating a 19" rack right now, but its not out of the question in the future...

Re: [Elecraft] K3 : Rack Mount Option?
I believe if one removes the feet from the right side of the K3S and the handle from the left side, all will work just fine. No modifications or panels needed. Mine are sitting side-by-side and with feet and handle in place on my K3S, P3 is to the left of the radio, overall width is 17.625". Some of the rack shelf units I researched show 17" inside dimensions for equipment. I did find one that was 17.750". These are fixed shelves and not slide out shelves.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 : Rack Mount Option?
Thanks... in that case, MIGHT be able to machine for fasteners to join them as a single unit with all external protuberances removed...

Re: [Elecraft] K3 : Rack Mount Option?
One of Elecraft's vendors that does the heatsinks, SNS Engineering, makes a complete line of rack panels that will do exactly as you want. Matching black color, handles, strong and well made. Call then at (831) 345-4590. I would attach a brochure, but this reflector doesn't pass them along.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 : Rack Mount Option?
I have my KAT500 and KPA500 in a rack. I do it with shelves that mount in the rack. Does not give it a military or commercial appearance but is as effective as having a rack mount option. I actually like it better because I can slide a unit partly out or rotate it for access if needed. I do this for printers, CRTs, computers et al.
