Gene, I once fixed a KAT100 to the bottom of the K2/100 at the request of the owner. All that was required was a strip of metal about 1 inch (OK maybe 1.5 inches) wide with holes drilled in the places required to substitute for the normal screws in the bottom side panels of the K2 and the top side panels of the KAT100.
Use longer screws - 3/16 inch plus the thickness of the added plates - 5/16 inch would be ideal for a 1/8 inch added strip, but these particular screws can be longer since there is not another screw located on the other side of the 2D connector, and I would suggest 3/8 inch screws which can be commonly obtained. If you want black screws you will have to order from a supply house like McMaster-Carr (www.mcmaster.com) and you will probably have to buy a box of 100. You can purchase lengths of aluminum in various thicknesses and widths at your local DIY store (or from McMaster-Carr). I would suggest the 1/8 inch thickness. To service either unit, simply remove the added strips. I have seen other implementations that involved removing the feet from the K2 and routing the connecting cable to the KAT100 inside the enclosure, but these are a bear to open for troubleshooting and repair if that is ever necessary. 73, Don W3FPR On 8/13/2011 1:47 PM, Eugene Balinski wrote: > All, > > Has anyone developed a bracket for the combination of > the K2/100 and the KAT-100 ?
