Re: [Elecraft] K3 / K3S Station setup question

At my house we have a three car garage. We turned the bay closest to the tower into a 10X15 radio room by filling in the floor with concrete, tiling the floor to match the house and adding a new wall 8 feet inside the roll up door. Add HVAC duct off the whole house system, run a 240 VAC circuit

Re: [Elecraft] K3 / K3S Station setup question

Hi All, My objective has always been (but rarely achieved) to just have a well suited part of the house where my station could be housed. You would think, considering the fact that most of the houses we have owned were fairly decent in size, that there would be such a place therein. However,

When we moved to our current home in 2006, my ham stations and outside antenna took a primary consideration in even deciding on which property to choose. My nine sled dogs were the other primary consideration. We moved from a 5ac lot to 1-3/4ac of which about 1ac is not woods. But moving out

I have two 24" monitors mounted on the wall behind my K Line. There is room to put my SEC1235M on top of the K3, the KAT500 on top of the KPA500 without blocking the ergonomically mounted monitors. To the left is my NCC-1 with a Steppir SDA-100 on top, and to the left of that my RCS12 on top of a

It seems like my shack is in a constant state of reconfiguration. Then I had to complicate things by buying a K3S and a Flex-6700 at the Huntsville Hamfest. My initial plan was to build a "horseshoe" configuration; much like the computer room at a former office. Over time the XYL, who was a

Sorry that you were not previously informed. For the record, Elecraft will be announcing something new in the future that will impact the space required for your station. The size may vary from one inch wide to 19 inches (rack mount), and will vary in height from one inch to 24 inches. Now

Here's an idea to consider -- when I built mine I made the shelf out of 3/4" plywood with 1 x 4's attached to the front and back of the shelf. Screws and glue. This makes the actual thickness of the shelf about 3-1/2", but makes it strong enough that you don't need vertical supports except at

Re: [Elecraft] K3 / K3S Station setup question

Jer, Make the space for the K3S and P3 1.5 inches wider than the two units combined - you need some space to grip the sides of the radio and P3 after you have both inserted in the hutch. You will not need any more than 3/4 stock for the shelf and top of the hutch. If think you need extra
