Darrell,
? I was considering uploading the files to one of those Chinese companies like PCBWay to get a quote for milling the parts from aluminum. I have a hunch that the price might leave me in shock. PCBWay quoted me $80.00 to print just the main front panel using one of their resin printing methods.
?
?WB8ICQ mentioned waterproofing:
? ?Redesigning my project to meet military specifications for waterproofing would require significant changes, and I'm uncertain if I have the skills to achieve that. The present design took me two months to complete and its still needs tweaking.
?
I have plans to install a two MOSFET IRF530 amplifier that I built there's plenty of room inside, but that idea is way down the road.? Powering the amp in remote conditions is another issue.?
?Anyway, I need to take a break from the whole project getting a little burned out CAD tweaking and printing.
?
?I sure hope Hans still implements SSB for the QMX+ that would be the icing on the cake.
?
73, Dave
