K3 : Rack Mount Option?

Had asked prior to Dayton, but really did not get a yea or a nay to the
possiblity to factory rack mount kits for the K3 and options? I know its a
field ready transceiver, but sometimes that also helps in making a shipping
container for long trips or portable opperation stations.

Thoughts?

This might be a possibility for the future, Dwight, but probably not
this year. Of course any K3 owner is welcome to develop their own rack
mount solution and share it with the list.

Maybe the forthcoming K3 power supply and external speaker can be combined
into a single box that can be attached to either side of the K3; thus making th
e
package the right width for the addition of some rack mount side plates.

I have my KAT500 and KPA500 in a rack. I do it with shelves that mount in the rack. Does not give it a military or commercial appearance but is as effective as having a rack mount option. I actually like it better because I can slide a unit partly out or rotate it for access if needed. I do this for printers, CRTs, computers et al.

One of Elecraft's vendors that does the heatsinks, SNS Engineering,
makes a complete line of rack panels that will do exactly as you want.
Matching black color, handles, strong and well made.

Call then at (831) 345-4590. I would attach a brochure, but this
reflector doesn't pass them along.

Based on published numbers, the P3 is 6.1" wide, the K3S is 10.7"
wide. As I recall a 19" rack shelf is 16.75". If all is correct, a
real tight fit, I'd say.

It's about 16.75 inches wide if you remove the handle and feet from the
sides of the K3

Thanks... in that case, MIGHT be able to machine for fasteners to join them as a single unit with all external protuberances removed...
The "slick solution would include custom outer panels with integrated mounting "ears".

I believe if one removes the feet from the right side of the K3S and the
handle from the left side, all will work just fine.   No modifications
or panels needed.

Mine are sitting side-by-side and with feet and handle in place on my
K3S, P3 is to the left of the radio, overall width is 17.625".   Some of
the rack shelf units I researched show 17" inside dimensions for
equipment. I did find one that was 17.750".   These are fixed shelves
and not slide out shelves.

Not likely since the right panel of the K3/K3S and the left panel of
the P3 are both mounted with 3D connectors and screws passing from
the outside of the panel. In addition, the K3/K3S has regulators
which use the right panel as a heat sink and capturing that inside
the P3 would impact the cooling ability.

Fun part is mounting the P3 to the K3. Both side panels screw on from side. No way to share a common panel.

Re: K3 : Rack Mount Option?

In reply to this post by Joe Subich, W4TV-4

Was just brainstorming... Maybe as I posted subsequently, you could just bond the two units togetger with additional hardware....
Thermal issues could be dealt with by creating an efficient thermal interface bewtween the units and adding a fan to the P3 to take the heat out.... the P3 mass could actually sink MORE heat than just the flat panel....
I don't mind actually engineering a dedicated solution...
I'm not contemplating a 19" rack right now, but its not out of the question in the future...

Not likely since the right panel of the K3/K3S and the left panel of
the P3 are both mounted with 3D connectors and screws passing from
the outside of the panel. In addition, the K3/K3S has regulators
which use the right panel as a heat sink and capturing that inside
the P3 would impact the cooling ability.

Not without some custom engineering/fasteners... agreed.
Looks like a common panel is not required anyway making it a moot point.

Fun part is mounting the P3 to the K3. Both side panels screw on from side. No way to share a common panel.

My rack mount shelves have 17 1/2 inches of space. I mount them with the shelf extending into the rack cabinet.

Re: K3 : Rack Mount Option?

I shared this a little while back. My solution isn't as slick as rack
mounting, but has a smaller footprint (about 14" x 14" or so) and great
ventilation. :-)

Re: K3 : Rack Mount Option?

In reply to this post by Dwight-9

I use fixed rack shelves that have an inside dimension of 17.5". At
several Denver-area swap meets I have displayed the Elecraft banner with
the K-Line in a short rack cabinet. The K3(S) + P3 (on the right side)
fit on one shelf with the feet and the handle in place. No need to
remove anything, nor make a special attachment of the units. The KPA500
+ W2 meter go on another shelf.

The rack and shelves (2U) were purchased from BSW (https://bswusa.com).
Let me know if you'd like a picture of the demo rack.
