Rack Mounting G2-1K5 Transceiver & ANAN 1K5 Amp
Posted: Sun Mar 03, 2024 11:25 pm
I have both the G2-1K5 Transceiver and the ANAN 1K5 Amplifier on order (I will use the Amplifier with my current ANAN 7000 DLE MKIII). NOTE: Please, no comments about "wait time," being a glutton for punishment, etc. I have been an A.L. customer for many years and have complete faith that I will receive my orders.
I am trying to prepare for Rack Mounting both of these, as they appear to be made with that in mind. However, the measurement designations are not the same for both, and the measurements themselves seem slightly off. Keep in mind, I realize that the G2-1K5 dimensions were probably written for the original 500-watt model; that is a variable I am considering. Both the TRANSCEIVER & AMPLIFIER show measurements for LENGTH & HEIGHT - but the TRANSCEIVER adds a measurement for DEPTH, while the AMPLIFIER adds a measurement for WIDTH? Converted to Inches, the measurements are as follows:
TRANSCEIVER: Length = 16.54" / Height = 5.32" / DEPTH = 15.67"
AMPLIFIER: Length = 19.56" / Height = 5.44" / WIDTH = 15.12"
Perhaps "DEPTH" was meant to be "WIDTH"? But regardless, standard Rack Mounts are 19" (even though the standard - true width is often noted as 18.31"). I know there are "Commercial" Racks that are wider; I am just trying to get an idea of the true dimensions of these two pieces of equipment. The ENCLOSURES / CASES appear to be identical - so one would assume that the dimensions would be identical. I would welcome any information on the true dimensions of these items.
Blessings & 73,
