Are you looking for a case for your Bitx?


 

Looking at stuff on EBay?there is a ton of EXTON equipment?for sale. I bring it up because the equipment is cheaper than cases and many already have 16X2 or 20X4 displays already installed. Lots of connectors as well. A search of "EXTON" will give you a ton of ideas.

All I got with a search for "EXTON" was shoes, some $2500 water purification systems and strapping. Care to be more specific? Note: the shoes didn't have a display in them :)

Err are you sure that's the right name? All I get searching for "exton" is a load of shoes!
Mind you I am in the UK so maybe that's relevant. ?????

Did you look at the shipping charges?
Some of them don't even have shipping charges stated.

The likelihood is that since many are shipping from the UK, DX shipping would be so expensive that they don't bother listing it.

Yeah, I saw Mike's post and checked that. And it does provide a good source of shoes!

Anyone looking at these for cases, I recommend you go to their website so you can get the dimensions on the enclosure. Those distribution amps look like the perfect size (according to the ebay pic), only to find out it's only a 1.7x4x3 box! There are some that are a good size tho and the price is what you'd be paying for just a box. Some of the boxes only have a hole in the front for an LED so you have a nice front panel to work with. A couple I'd seen even came with a 12V 3A power supply!!! BONUS!

You're searching wrong. Do a search sorted by lowest price + shipping first. I'm watching a box with built in power and 15 BNC connectors, is 8.7x9.4x1.7H and is less that $20 after you add in shipping. There are others in the similar price range.
