Ham Radio Mounting

More and more ham radio operators are rack mounting their radios these days. There are many reasons for rack mounting, survey says:

(A) I want my radio home to look professional, like the commercial radio and TV installations.
(B) Rack mounting allows going vertical, minimizing floor space and allowing more room for more radios.
(C) Interconnection radios and ancillary equipment are easier to wire when they are mounted vertically in the rack enclosure.
(D) If you ever should have a break-in, the thieves will not have time to un-mount all your radios, giving you some peace of mind that your radio are safer when rack mounted.
(E) Your wife (XYL) or lady friend (YL) will be impressed how nice your “shack” looks.
(F) You will be so proud, you will build a web site to show all of your friends or place photos on www.qrz.com.
(G) You will get a lot of Wows from your ham radio buddies.

Ham Radios that we now have in our product line are mostly for Collins (S-Line), Icom, Kenwood and Yaesu. We also do a lot with commercial two-way radios made by Motorola, Icom, Kenwood, Ritron and others. We can do custom rack mounts for other manufacturers, so be sure to email us with your “wish list“.

Why Rack Mount Radios?

Here are just a few reasons given by some of the operators we have heard from

Makes it easier to access and use my equipment all in one place.
Keeps my gear protected from bumps and scratches.
If someone breaks into my house, then they will have a difficult time getting my radios.
I finally have all those ugly wires out of sight, looks great.
My wife likes the way my shack looks; she even shows her friends my room.

Testimonial

WA5RAY Testimonial:
Thanks Novexcomm for your great products. I was trying to rack mount my radio equipment into my console racks and was failing miserably. Luckily, I ran across your ad and have since successfully rack mounted several units very easily. The chassis design of your system for the larger rigs moves the weight of the actual radio equipment from the front panel and transfers it to the rack through your integrated chassis shelf. This greatly helps installing, removing and working on the gear. It also reduces the rattles that come from the stresses from the weight of the gear that is supported entirely from the single panel itself. Very COOL indeed! Thanks again for being there for a guy in need.
