[Elecraft] Access to the back of the K3
I saw the comment about the rats nest of wires we have behind out equipment. Based on convention, people normally put their tables up against the walls. I have my tables 18" from the walls. This gives me enough room to go behind to fiddle with the wires, which I seem to do every few days. Just sharing.

Hi Bob, When I got my K3 I decided to totally rebuild much as you did... Desk is movable, and uses hangers for the cabling... See: http://nk7z.net/rebuilding-the-shack/ for photos of the back of the desk, not just the front... -- Thanks and 73's, For equipment, and software setups and reviews see: www.nk7z.net For MixW support see; http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/mixw/info For Dopplergram information see: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/dopplergram/info For MM-SSTV see: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/MM-SSTV/info On Sun, 2015-07-19 at 23:40 -0400, Bob Bennett via Elecraft wrote: > I saw the comment about the rats nest of wires we have behind out > equipment.

Re: [Elecraft] Access to the back of the K3
19" rack on castors with two tethered cables - coax to remote antenna switch and mains power (UPS with microseconds switch mounted on rack). Oh, actually I haven't used this rack of QRO equipment since discovering QRP a couple of years ago. 73 de ken ke4rg When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.
