Re: [Elecraft] An OCD thought about the KAT500

[Michael Blake via Elecraft]

While my obsession for everything matching perfectly may not be everyone’s cup 
of tea it speaks volumes about a company that will go out of the way to cater 
to such a whim.  Not only were the feet complementary but they were quickly 
shipped and arrived in only four days on a holiday week.

Outstanding service!  Thank you Elecraft.

If you look at my photo on QRZ.com  you ill see the bottom 
edge of the KAT500 in perfect alignment with the bottom edge of the SP3.  If 
that does not give you warm feeling then you have already read too much of this 
post:)

Re: [Elecraft] An OCD thought about the KAT500

[Michael Blake]

No, four 7/16”, same height feet so it is level.  Same as the adjacent SP3. 

It looks very good this way.

Re: [Elecraft] An OCD thought about the KAT500

[Michael Blake]

A perfect solution is at hand.  I had two left over rear rubber feet from a 
KPA500 replacement bottom cover kit and I found that they will mount using 
existing screw locations on the bottom of the KAT500.  Using these feet makes 
the KAT500 match perfectly with the height of the SP3 that it is next to.

I have an email off to Elecraft parts to try and buy two more of these feet so 
that everything matches…… as it should…… I think :)

Re: [Elecraft] An OCD thought about the KAT500

If you add the KPA-500 on top of the KAT-500, the stack will be the same 
height as a K3 when the K3 bale is deployed.
