[Elecraft] Pie Rack K-Line

2018-03-28 Thread Dauer, Edward

Inspired by the creativity of the previous posts -- pie racks and shoe shelves 
-- I took the dimensions of my K2 line and KX3 line, with all of their 
accessories, and went to The Container Store.  

The possibilities are endless.  I spent a good two hours turning their stuff 
around in my hands and my mind, fitting it in ways no-one at The Container 
Store likely ever thought of to make compact racks and modular stacks for my 
Elecraft gear. Truly endless permutations.  Made me realize why the old College 
Entrance Exams had those you-fold-it spatial relationship questions.  This was 
the reason.  Someone knew that someday we'd be doing this . . . 

Ted, KN1CBR

(I have no financial interest in The Container Store; but I wish I did.   There 
are stores in 32 states plus D.C.)

What did you use for shelf liners?


1/8" hardboard cut to size.  There is also "crinkle" rubber shelf lining 
material that can be used on top of the hardboard if necessary (I didn't 
need it).



Were the lines also ordered from shelving.com?

Some models are sturdier than others. The newer ones I have are much more rigid 
and don't sag (much) with the weight of one of our amplifiers. The slats on my 
earlier ones are about 1" wide with maybe 1/2" gaps in between. The slats on 
the sturdier ones are 3" wide, and there are three slats.  Mine have item # 
811302, but I don't find that on the web now. I paid about $29 each, I think.

I found an economical way to go vertical with my Elecraft gear and save
some desk space.  It's slightly off-beat - which suits me:-)  - and I'm
very happy with both cost and quality.  For any also interested in
stacking their gear without the expense of rack mounting:

I've been using that system with 24" shelves for five years.  Two
shelves wide and three stacked high holds my K2/100/AT and accessories
as well as several VHF/UHF transceivers and TNCs, two "heavyweight" ICOM
Communications Receivers, and a full-width DC power distribution and
metering panel.

I got the idea from the Beaverton ARES installation that used it several
years before that.

2018-03-27 Thread Mike Markowski
Thanks, guys, for the replies and comments.  Bill nr4c, yes, I can reach
controls by having each device slid forward so that its front panel is just
beyond the shelf front edge.  The only issue is that the K3 tends to slide
back a little when a push/hold for a button's 2nd function is wanted.  I
need a non-skid surface between the K3 and shelf.

Re: [Elecraft] Pie rack K-Line

2018-03-26 Thread Dave Fugleberg
Very nice looking setup!
I use a similar rack from home depot which holds the K3, P3, four
transverters and amps for VHF / UHF, and associated SWR meters, etc. About
360 days of the year it sits on the desk in the shack connected to the
shack computer and antennas. When it's time for a VHF+ contest, the whole
thing relocates to the back seat of my truck for rover operations.
Works very well. I liked it so much that I bought a second rack for some
other stuff in the shack (rotor controllers, antennas switches, etc.).

Yes, I like those chrome plated metal racks. I have used several of
them to make my operating desk strong and stable, and provide shelf
space for heavy battery, power supply, etc..

To stack the radios on top of the desk, I used PVC, as shown about 1/3
into this presentation:

I found an economical way to go vertical with my Elecraft gear and save some 
desk space.  It's slightly off-beat - which suits me :-) - and I'm very happy 
with both cost and quality.  For any also interested in stacking their gear
