KX3: Help finding RAM mount

[Edward R Cole]

Been unsuccessful finding the mobile clamp shown in Fig.1, page 5 of
the "Guide to KX3 Mobile Installation"* found on the Elecraft
website. I've searched all over the RAM website and it is not
found.  Could someone provide me the web link to that product?  I've
cc Matt, as well.

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,

--------------
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>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 :-)

It might be in its aftermarket phase now.

Try:

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

73!
