Exact interior specifications of stocking needed to hold KX2

[wayne burdick]

In answer to many private inquiries on the topic: An unboxed KX2 will fit in a stocking whose interior cross section approximates an ellipsoid 3.5" long and 2" wide (9 x 5 cm). An MH3 microphone and KXPD2 paddle inserted ahead of the KX2 will satisfactorily occupy an equilateral conic toe void with altitude of 4" (10 cm) or greater.

Given the transceiver's maximum storage temperature of approx. 70 C, a standard decorative incendiary display may be deployed beneath the stocking(s), though during initial testing at daybreak we recommend an operating position no less than 7' (2 m) from open flames.

Additional advice on holiday package deployment is available from Elecraft Elf Services ([hidden email]). Our staff is especially well versed in assisting covert gift purchasing activity by those only tangentially associated with ham radio.

It’s good to know that the mathematical study of solid geometry and topology remains alive and well.  Not to mention the effects of rapid and uncontrolled oxidation and associated heat transfer  :-)

Regardless of geometrical shapes, I want to emphasize Elecraft's Sales staff
incredible stealth gift service!  Several times I have ordered an item which
Judy, my lovely wife, has already ordered as a gift for me.  Of course, I
told about this wonderful new thing (P3, for example) I needed.

Someone in Sales noticed an order by me to the same address and same last
name.  They call her and she responds with "Tell him it's out-of-stock."
They do and I am surprised to learn that after checking the Elecraft web
site, forgetting I suggested she buy one as a gift.  BTW, I wrote this in
present tense assuming I will do this again, but probably not for the K4.
(Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

The "normal" response from many other organizations would be ship it and
deal with the fallout later.  I appreciate the Elecraft customer
care--thanks!

73, Bill, K8TE
