Normally I don't reply to myself, but ... while the QDX is almost
exactly the same size as an Altoids tin, the Rev 3 PCB is too large
(too wide) to fit in an Altoids tin.
One suggestion I have for future revs of the QDX is that the board
_NOT_ be shrunk to fit in an Altoids tin. This little guy in its
black anodized case is way too nice to be an Altoids radio.

familiar with the QDX and its diminutive size.
So I just compared the QDX enclosure to an Altoids tin, and they are
almost exactly the same size. So that's what you can tell people who
ask. Stateside, an Altoids tin is a favored builder box because they
are cheap, easy to find, and yummy to empty out.
