Go Box Help

Ed Bloom, KD9FRQ All Messages By This Member #6807 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, 73, Ed, KD9FRQ
Ed Liddle All Messages By This Member #6808 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!

Ed Bloom, KD9FRQ All Messages By This Member #6821 开云体育 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.
