The KPA500 transformer uses a toroid core, which reduces the external
magnetic field.

The P3's display is an LCD, not a CRT that might more likely be influenced
by magnetic fields.

Place the amplifier and P3 as you find convenient.

Subject: [Elecraft] Positioning of KPA 500 with K3

Just finished building KPA 500 SN 846 without a hitch. Great experience! I
recall that the transformer field makes it less advisable to place the
amplifier to the LEFT of the K3. Is this true? Handles would abut as well.
May have to rearrange shack.So is it necessary to place the KPA 500 to the
RIGHT of the P3?
