It might be in its aftermarket phase now.

It's the same mount featured in the KX3 Mobile Installation Guide, Fig. 1.

73!

Re: [Elecraft] KX3: Help finding RAM mount

[Edward R Cole]

Thanks to John and also Jim Rhodes, George-AI4VZ, 
Jeff-K2SDR who all sent the same model number.


I called RAM this morning to check on dimensions 
that the mount accepted; max is 3.5 inches by 1.6 
inch depth which will accommodate the KX3 if you 
do not have an add-on heat sink like I have (adds 
3/4-inch to height for 4-1/4 inch total 
height).  The end fingers are not used as the KX3 is too long for the mount.


I decided to order the mount even though my radio 
is too tall as I can probably modify it by making 
a larger base plate.  $21.99 for the mount.  I 
also ordered the RAM-B-101U-A double ball mount 
(arm) that has the std 2.5 inch hole pads on each 
end.  Its 3-3/4 inch long. cost $24.99.


RAM total with shipping $76.77 (they only ship Fedex)

I also ordered from Proclipsa, their model 213493 
angled dash mount plate for my Ford F250 
truck.  It has the standard mounting pad that RAM 
uses.  cost $55.49 with shipping


So my total with shipping is $132.26

I will make some pictures when I have my KX3 
mounted in the truck; also pictures of other radios and KXPA-100.


thanks for all the help,

73, Ed - KL7UW

I'm thinking this RAM holder could be the one you 
are looking for:Â RAM-HOL-UN4U. This is their 
Universal mount and the finger clips appear to be 
very similar. Here is the URL:Â 
http://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-HOL-UN4U#Specs-Features 
 See what you think.  :-)


This one looks good to me and I may order one 
myself after I verify the dimensions of the KX3 
and holder.  I was thinking of fitting it to a 
cup holder mount, but I'll look at all the options in the article. Â


Thanks for getting my attention! Â :-)

[Elecraft] KX3: Help finding RAM mount
