开云体育The ubitx.net website now incorporates a build gallery.? I figure this could be very handy for new constructors to source ideas for enclosures, layout and labelling. It can be found as the last item in the main menu ... I am sure that there are some more fine build examples out
there.? If you want to send me a few photos I will
look to include your ?BITx build in the gallery.? I reserve the
right to not include your build is a bit rough and doesn't meet my
expectations of being a good role model for others! 73 Mike ZL1AXG ubitx.net |

开云体育Probably - there are 4000 of these kits
now in the hands of constructors!?? I bet there are some pretty
interesting builds out there!

Looks like a Hammond 1455T1601BK:?? Main board rotated 90 degrees, display on a wiring harness. On Fri, Mar 23, 2018 at 08:02 am, Karl Heinz Kremer, K5KHK wrote:
Mike, this is a very interesting approach. How big is your case? I like how compact it all is. |

Hello Karl, thanks for your interest. The outside dimensions are 203x144x68 mm, inside 5.5x7.8 in. The PCB slides into grooves in the sides of case, no stand-offs needed. The case is sold on eBay for $20 including shipping from vendor fan-computer. There are complications: the Raduino must be connected via wires (some shielded), the power mosfets are mounted on the top half of the case and connect to the PCB via Small molex connectors. You will want to apply some insulating tape along the sides of the PCB that slide into the grooves. Good luck, Mike N6CMY

Mine, you did a very nice job! What is that case? Thanks, Roy WA0YMH On Fri, Mar 23, 2018, 9:58 AM <Mharpen@...> wrote: Hello Mike, |

The vendor is fan_computer. Use underscore not dash to search eBay! Roy WA0YMH On Fri, Mar 23, 2018, 10:35 AM <Mharpen@...> wrote: Hello Karl, thanks for your interest.

That Hammond 1455T1601BK?extruded aluminum box?should just barely accept

the uBitx without rotating the board.?? Box can accept a 6.318" wide board if you use the board slots in the extrusion. the uBitx is just narrow enough to not bother with those slots. Inside height of the Hammond?box is 1.85". Would need to reduce the height of the display somehow, perhaps use long right angle header pins? mounted to the bottom of the main board, a socket strip installed on the Raduino. That brings total height using the standoffs provided with the uBitx down to about 1.75". Just barely fits the inside of the box which is 6.3" long from display to back of the board, no room for the IR510 heatsinks.? But could bolt the IRF510's to the back panel, and they can stay bolted when you pull the board out to work on it. Might use a heavier gauge back panel or attach fins to the outside where the IRF510's get bolted down?to improve heat dissipation. Accessories such as swr meters, Rasberry Pi's with display, speech compressors, cw audio filters could all be mounted to the top cover, which can slide out of the extrusion along with the back panel and main board.? If all wires from that top cover go to one side of? the uBitx board, then after sliding the guts out the cover can be flopped over to fully expose the board. If wires to switches and encoders and volume controls on the front panel are slightly long, then could slide the main board back during disassembly till display unsockets from it,? then lift the front panel and bring it back along with the board, back panel and top cover. So no wires need to be disconnected during disassembly, rig should work outside the case. Wow, meant to be! I need to buy that Hammond, ditch this Jameco case I now have. Adding wires between the IRF510's to the board could work well enough on the lower bands if you don't have trouble with parasitic oscillations.? Upper bands not so good, I'd bet. Traces to the IRF510's must be as short as possible, especially the source leads. Jerry, KE7ER On Fri, Mar 23, 2018 at 08:19 am, Jerry Gaffke wrote:

You should be able to see this in the gallery now ... at the bottom of the list. I am still trying to figure out how to get these alpha order by callsign! Mike ZL1AXG On 24/03/18 3:58 AM, Mharpen@... wrote: Hello Mike,
