NO!

If you look at the FP board, it's quite clear where the board is pre-scored to be broken off. I use long-nosed pliers to break along that line... It's described in the manual, though I can't tell you where!

Do it carefully¡ªdon't want to break off anything you shouldn't!

Subject: [QRPLabs] QMX+ Front PCB to large for enclosure
?
Searched but did not find anything -
Completed the QMX+ build and was assembling into the case when I found that the front panel PCB will not fit into the case.
The case is 96mm inside.
The case is 99mm between the grooves
The front metal panel is 106mm at the widest point
The front PCB is 105mm across.
Basically I am trying to squish 105mm into a 96mm opening. Not going to happen.

Photos are attached

Since it is completely built, should I try and Dremel 10mm off the front PCB?
TIA
