Re: QSX Enclosure Request

I think everyone probably agrees that Hans can't possibly stock different colors for the case. If someone is really unhappy with a black case, it can't be that hard to prepare the existing case for a coat of primer and finish it off with a touch Krylon in their favorite color.

I¡¯ve got far too many ¡®manly man ¡® black cased pieces of kit in my shack and it all blends in together.? Hi Al
That's an interesting request. I was planning black. It looks nice.?
I'm curious how often a radio is likely to be subjected to a hot sun during operation, such as Alabama... if it is that hot for the radio, wouldn't it be that hot for the operator too? Wouldn't you sit under a tree, or a shade of some sort??

My request is please don't make the enclosure black.? When you have a xcvr outside in the hot Alabama sun, a black case gets really hot - too hot to touch in fact.? And the high enclosure temperature probably doesn't do the electronics and display much good either.? A light color is preferable, like white or yellow.? I suppose red or blue might be useable, but I imagine those would get fairly warm also.? Actually, a gold or yellow anodized enclosure would be nice, but I suppose anodizing would increase the cost.
