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 anywhere in hard braking or bumpy roads.
Proper cases, to be used anytime the RV is in motion, would be the safe answer. When they start offering K3's as WWII tank equipment, properly hardened for the application, then I will hard mount it in an RV, but not until. I suspect that the KX3 equipment would do better, simply due to the manner of construction. I don't know if anyone has done vibration testing of a KX3, but I suspect it would do better than a K3. 73, Guy On Wed, Jul 22, 2015 at 6:44 PM, Bob McGraw - K4TAX <rmcg...@blomand.net> wrote: > 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 it a motor home, travel trailer or such, with today's road conditions, > i.e. seams, cracks, and potholes, I wouldn't dare leave my radio on a desk > or table. > > 73 Bob, K4TAX > > On 7/22/2015 9:34 AM, Rick WA6NHC wrote: > >> The question depends on how the rig travels on lousy roads. >> > > > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > Message delivered to k2av....@gmail.com > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
