Yes, it's 6RU high, and almost as deep.

In terms of monitoring, it's the best you can get in its class.
I've invested a substantial amount of money in this, and whilst I'm
not looking at making a profit with it, I need to try to cover costs,
so I have been thinking if people are prepared to pay a nominal fee, I
will bring it around, along with a Bird wattmeter, so you can see how
much power you are sending up the coax and what your mod levels are
like - and adjust them if need be.

"The RF doctor does house calls" :D

What do you think?
