No reason not to put the P3 on top of the K3 and that is what I presently
do in my SO2R station. This keeps everything compact, in easy reach, with
minimal hand and eye movement which I appreciate for contesting. I have a
long shelf supported by 2x4s on edge. The keys and SO2R Box fit nicely
under
Thursday I ordered my K3 and P3. All the images I
see show the P3 on either the right or left side
of the K3. But it seems having the P3 screen just
above the display of the K3 would be an easier way
to operate.
Is there any reason not to locate the P3 that way
(like vents in the K3,
Phil,
Having the P3 on top of the K3 has worked fine here for many years
with no problems. Your equipment configuration is mostly a matter of
operating convenience.

I find that my hands use the knobs on the P3 far
more that the K3. I estimate the ratio of P3 to
K3 use is 4:1 respectively.
I operate 99.99% CW, so my input is based on
primarily CW operation.
I suggest you try it out for a few days, when you
are active on the air, in the side position
Hmm. I found my arms and wrist got tired when
having to access the knobs and controls when the
P3 sat on top of the K3: Good point, Jim -- I
don't like my knobs too high. The K2/100 atop the
relatively thin KAT100 works well in that regard.
I'll play with it when I get it!

Hi Phil,
I had my P3 on top of my K3 for about a year until I got the SVGA card and
added an additional monitor which is now suspended over the K3. There's no
heat build up problem but if the K3 bale is up then I guess the P3 could
slide a bit when pushing P3 buttons. I used some of that rubbery
