Nifty stand for KX3

Anyone using one of these? How is the viewing angle when used on a desk ? I
know, it's 3 am on the east coast. I ordered my KX3 tonight and have been
gathering information. Time to hit the sack.

Re: Nifty stand for KX3

I have one and like it well. It holds the KX3 securely with the stock rear feet hanging over the back edge. It's a tiny bit shorter in length than the KX3, not sure why, but no issues. Maybe so the cables are free to plug into the sides. The key is in a great spot, not that I am any good at the paddles, but then if it works for me... :)
AND it's much better than the stock feet for seeing angle.

It's a bit narrower so the angle brace for the rear feet fit over the edges to
limit lateral movement on the stand. I have one. I like it. I've heard that if you're really tall, the viewing angle isn't great but for me it's just about right.

I'm glad I bought it.

The viewing angle is adjustable..... if you own a decent heat gun. ;o)

This inspired me...so I built my own, out of 1/4 acrylic and a scrap piece
of cherry I had lying around. Pics here:

Re: Nifty stand for KX3

I have received a few inquiries about ordering one of these. I am not
interested in producing these for anyone else. My objective (other than a
few atta-boys) was to inspire others to make one for themselves. It's not
that difficult. Many different materials could be used. In the spirit of
HAM radio...make one!
