Scott,

Thank you for the reply.? I will be looking at that rack mount for another non HAM Pi project.

I was not clear enough in my description of the box and mounting goals.

The Pi is in a metal case (the VHF/UHF is a NWDR DRAWS package).

I found a 6 in shelf and will hold the Pi and PowerPoles power distribution block. This will
allow me to put a cover on the shelf and drill some holesfor power connectors to keep
it looking cleaner.

Here would be an option if multiple RPIs would be needed for your operation.?

I use velcro to mount my Pi to the side of my gobox. I also use velcro to mount my signal links and 12v usb plug. I have a slide out shelf that I use for the bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I have a 12" monitor that runs off of 12vdc I take it off the stand and store it in a padded envelope when transporting it. My monitor is not mounted in my box. I set it on the shelf that holds my FT8900 and mfj auto antenna tuner when in use. I have a 991a mounted to the bottom of the shelf using the mobile mounting bracket and two signal links mounted using velcro to the bottom of it too.

I hope this helps!

I am building two Go Boxes based on the Pi and BAP - one HF and one VHF/UHF.

The boxes are the Gator 4U (VHF/UHF) and might need 6U for HF. I am
trying to

keep weight down by no using shelves. I got face plates custom made the hold

the radios and the HF tuners.

Two questions :

1) What do you recommend to use to mount the Pi in the back?

2) What is your recommendation for mounting a 12v DC HDMI monitor?

For the monitor, I am looking do something like mounting the drawer slides

and build a cross bar that attaches to the VESA plate on the monitor.

TYIA,
