Very nice, well done.

I have? been resisting getting a QCX but now I am going to have to get one so that I can try and duplicate this.

Beautiful work! Thanks for the link to the construction technique! How did you do the wonderful labeling? That's one area where I always have trouble and it never gets done.?

Thanks & 73!

Ken,

I absolutely love it!

As usual, the final result of your workmanship looks more like jewelry than machinery.

Have you given any thought to making a modified version of this case available as a kit of silk-screened PCB parts on the QRPGuys website?

I imagine the manufacturing techniques would be similar to those used in the PCB fabricated parts used in the Lidia Receiver, the Multi Z Tuner, and the Paddle lineup.

I would suggest mounting the QRP-Labs provided controls on a small PCB with front-panel standoffs to bring the controls out at the proper height without the use of extensions.

Tom,

Thanks for the kind words. We have no plans to offer it commercially. I just did this for my own kit, and a 40m one #1913 that is in the future. There probably are others exploring cases for this very popular kit.

Al,

If you look into the mentioned document on qrpguys website, you find a detailed instruction for decals on page 9-10. All labels are ready to be printed out on some water soluble paper.

Not only the enclosure is great but also the building instructions. I impressed from this high quality craftsmanship.?

Thx qrpguys for showing us.
