OK to place P3 directly on top of K3?

[Barry]

Looking at some shack redecorating and one possibility is placing the P3
directly on top of the K3/100.  Is that OK?

I have my P3 and an external speaker on top of my K3s with no problem.

Mine is on top and has been for several years.  I also have the
RemoteRig RRC-1258 on top.  One note: The P3 will slide when you press
the buttons, especially if you use the bail to elevate the front of the
K3.  I use sticky-back velcro squares under the P3's rubber feet.  The
1258 is also secured with velcro, the wifi dongle is secured to the top
of the 1258, and the A/B data switch is stuck to the top of the P3.  I
also got some 1 ft [0.3 m] cables to hook it all up.  The Winkey and
paddles are still on the desk.  Velcro is slicker than duct tape.

I have had my P3 on top of the K3 for years. I have the same
problem as Fred with things sliding off. I fixed it by building
an aluminum bar across the back of the K3 that catches the feed
on the P3. Loosening one screw will pop it off the K3 when I
need to get inside.

I solved this with Velcro buttons on the feet of the P3 and the top of
the K3.
