DAVE JAMES All Messages By This Member #19385 Great job Martin.? Look forward to seeing it in the flesh. (Like the morse paddle :-)? - for others that may be interested this was printed from? Martin's clever modification was to use foam rubber instead of the spring for tension) 73, Dave On Monday, 11 December 2017, 19:57, Martin Waller <martin@...> wrote: Hi, This is a tight fit but it does go in.

Tom, N8TPN All Messages By This Member #19390 Martin, I visited your facebook page to have a look... The use of graph paper patterns for the initial layout and adjustments, and building a full-size wooden mock-up of the case to ensure the fit prior to cutting any metal are excellent techniques! The "Midnight Blue" anodizing of the case looks especially good with the light leakage via the plexiglass (perspex) acting as an edge-light conductor of the display's blue backlight. Great work! 73, Tom N8TPN
Martin Waller All Messages By This Member #19394 开云体育 Hi Tom, ? Many thanks for the comments Tom. ? I draw it out on the graph paper then cut it out and stick it on the final box with Pritt-Stick, it will survive most drilling and cutting then I just put the box in water for a few minutes and the whole paper and glue residue washes away. This works well on plastic boxes too. ? I do like the Hammond boxes, the paint work is excellent, it didn’t chip at any of the edges even when using a file. ?

N1EDC All Messages By This Member #19399 I used the Hammond box for mine as well - It was a rather tight fit due to the pillars inside for the screws holding the box together. ?I had to trim the corners of the board on one side to get it to fit, and mounted a PCB support through one of the holes for the onboard microswitch (whoch I ommitted). I also used DuPont connectors to plug in controls and key sockets so I could remove the radio for troubleshooting or repair without having to de- and re-solder everything - That made it a REALLY tight fit, but I managed to get it all in there.
