[Elecraft] K-Line mounting

If you look at my (N1HEL) QRZ.com page, you will photos of my K-Line gear arrayed in its "bookcase" structure, which is securely mounted to the (extended) dinette table of my RV, which in turn is permanently braced and bolted to the floor. (The RV serves ONLY as a mobile comms van.) The pieces si

Re: [Elecraft] K-Line mounting

When I have radio equipment traveling in the RV, they ride on the big bed in the back. It has two inches of foam on top of the mattress, plus a cushy bed cover. They would probably fly forward in a head-on crash with an 18 wheeler, but that would be the least of worries. They have never gone anywhe

Re: [Elecraft] K-Line mounting

I personally use a hard sided travel case fitted with die cut foam to accommodate the various pieces of equipment...radio, power supply, mike, wire antenna, coax cable, and etc. There's a few dedicated cables and such wired into the travel trailer to assist with getting coax outside. Be i

Kiravan is the way forward, http://gearjunkie.com/kiravan-expedition-vehicle-rv But seriously, whatever you do, ensure that there is enough ventilation and that things can be hidden from prying eyes. Maybe consider using ratchet tie down straps to tie the equipment down securely so things don'

Re: [Elecraft] K-Line mounting

If it were my K-Line in a motorhome - and assuming it would not be operated during travel, I would build a custom box cover (or more to the point, a shell) for it - likely out of plywood. My vision is that box cover would have partitions that would fit between each of the K-Line boxes, and would

Re: [Elecraft] K-Line mounting

The question depends on how the rig travels on lousy roads. For most of the roads in the US, you'll want a semi-rigid mount but soft enough that a hard bounce won't jar anything loose. If your travel include off pavement, it will be the same, only beefier. Padding between the station element

No need to use a Signalink with a K3.. it's audio input and output jacks are already isolated. Robin G1MHU (K3-10 user) -Original Message- From: Amateur Radio Operator N5GE Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2015 4:54 PM To: Gary Cc: Elecraft List Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K-Line mou

Re: [Elecraft] K-Line mounting

Pull the bail down and clamp to that by clamping gently to the rubber on each side. Then you can slide a SignaLing USB into the empty spot under the front of the K3. On Tue, 21 Jul 2015 15:16:02 +1000, you wrote: >Has anyone knowledge of placing a k-line on a desktop in such a way that it is >

Cable ties - unless you are off-road racing or in a crash, they will do fine. Just drill a few holes in the desk surface to run the ties through. Bill W2BLC K-Line __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/e

Has anyone knowledge of placing a k-line on a desktop in such a way that it is secure when the desktop is in a motorhome? I have some ideas of course but looking for something better perhaps. Thanks Gary __ Elecraft mailing list Home: htt
