The seller of the blue box does not show face plates but others selling what looks like the same box does.?? I am currently building my uBITX into the 2nd plastic box and it just fits perfect.? I am adding a speech compressor so the output transistors may run warmer so I am adding a temperature controlled fan but due to the board perfect fit it has to mount on the outside of the back plate.

" ?Shipping time:7-20?business days"

Found it there first -- why wait for slow boat from China
when I can pay a few extra and have it in a couple of days.

Also, other Chinese sites have it for $9.99.

Yeah, I was puzzled by the price since the picture shows $9.99, but the entry say $11.99. Also, some people could order their case now while they're still waiting for the ?BITX to arrive.

There is also a black version of the plastic EF01 type case sold by many on ebay.? I have a white one from banggood and a black one from? they appear to as close to the same as you would expect.? I do get a chuckle out of the Chinese ebay listings that call a plastic enclosure with ventilation "waterproof".

Don't forget Wolfland Computer and Hobby in Minnesota. Dave Schmidt custom prints these cases in several styles and colors. He even will print your call in the front panel. I have the smaller fully bossed version, and it's beautiful.

Wolfland.net is the web address.

Hi Folks …

I bought the same kind of case for my uBITX and found it a nice home for my transceiver. ?I bought a small switcher from Jameco (I know, switcher and noise and stuff … but I’ve found it to be a nice quiet supply) and had plenty of room in the box for all the stuff I needed. ?I put in a little buck converter to drop the 14 v from my supply (I had cranked it up a little) to 12 v for the board and 14 v for the PA. ?I made sure that all the cabinet pieces were grounded (they were all thin sheet metal) and have had no problems with ground loops or associated crosstalk.

I matched the color with my labels printed on glossy photo paper and used spray on adhesive to put them on the front and back panels. ?You can see that I made some placement decisions after drilling most of the front panel because the speaker grill almost covers up the Function button ?:-( . ?Still, we’re both a work in progress, so I can handle small deviations from excellence.

The back panel has an AC and a DC plug. ?The switch above the AC input turns off the power to the little power supply inside (I didn’t want it to be powered up all the time … so I have two switches to turn off). ?The little toggle switch allows me to switch between the two supplies. ?I couldn’t help myself, so I had to put in two antenna connectors for flexibility. ?The USB port is brought out so I can update the Raduino software … it currently is running Dr. Lee’s 1.061 software (and, it’s GREAT).

I use it to check into the Utah Beehive Section level net every day on 7.272 MHz at 12:30pm local time. ?Net control varies from 700 miles away to 250 miles away, so I seem to get out with a 10w signal. ?I haven’t had any luck with the Sunday 7:00pm CQ attempts, but it seems to be a real sweet machine, otherwise.

I’m looking forward to trying some of the digital modes as soon as I can get an old PC talking to the internet and can get my head around hooking things up to the uBITX.

73,

I purchased a couple like this only in black. ?I think they were available in other colors, too. I bought them on eBay and I think I paid about $12 plus shipping for the both. ?Shipping was about $5. ?It's best to just browse through what is available and find something you like.
