Re: Plastic vs Metal Cabinets
|
Yes, the plastic enclosures are more prone to external RF. I'm using the popular chinese cabinet and have a TS-100 soldering iron powered by a laptop brick that puts out a rather large RFI footprint. It floods the uBITX receive while under temperature regulation. If the uBITX were in a properly grounded metal case, the interference would be considerably less. I can get within 1 foot with the TS-100 and cause the receive on the uBITX to be swamped. I'm currently looking into improving the shielding on the TS-100 to cause less of an RFI footprint. ?

I know that Farhan has recommended a metal enclosure for the uBitx but I see many people using plastic. Has anyone
who has a plastic enclosure encountered any problems with it so far? By the way, I ordered on 12/17 and received
an email that it was shipped today. 73 Mike KF6KXG
