Re: [Elecraft] K3 KPA500 clearance under shelf
It also states in the KAT500 manual that the tuner can be placed on top or under the KPA500 and also several times here on the reflector.

[Elecraft] K3 KPA500 clearance under shelf
I am reconfiguring my operating position in anticipation of the arrival of a KPA500 and KAT500 to add to my K3. I plan on putting the K3 and KPA500 below a shelf and the KAT500 above. The K3 and KPA 500 will both have bales in use. The shelf is open to the rear. How much clearance would be needed to provide adequate ventilation?

Re: [Elecraft] K3 KPA500 clearance under shelf
But unless you cramp the cabling, you'll want more room than 2. By the time you get the interconnect cables, antenna cables, power cords, audio cords, bug and key cables and who know what else, it gets pretty darned busy back there. My K line is on my dining room table (advantage of living alone) and all that uses up a foot or so, even if I make loops of the excess cabling. Rick wa6nhc -Original Message- From: Gary W.
