PCB material fabricated NanoVNA chassis

Ken wa4mnt #4909 Hi all, The link below is for the chassis I made for my NanoVNA device I recently received. I was concerned about damage to the rocker switch and the power slide switch. I have also included a little extra overall thickness for those wanting to use the cell phone battery mentioned on the list for longer life. I am not looking to sell these, I just wanted to show what can be done to protect it a little more and keep out some of the dirt. It can be found on the qrpguys.com "misc files" area if the link below goes south. ken - wa4mnt qrpguys.com
Mel Farrer, K6KBE #4910 Nicely done Ken. I too am concerned about junk getting into the open areas. Thanks Mel, K6KBE toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Mon, Oct 14, 2019 at 2:46 PM Ken wa4mnt <wa4mnt@...> wrote: Hi all, The link below is for the chassis I made for my NanoVNA device I recently received.

I found a lot of hits by searching for 'case': /g/nanovna-users/search?q=case --buck

Jeff Anderson All Messages By This Member #4921 Ken, great job with PCB material. Looks like a professional chassis (much better than mine). And thanks for the article on general fab'ing of chassis. - Jeff, k6jca

Larry Rothman All Messages By This Member #4940 Ken, You can place a small piece of felt across the switch opening (on the inside) and just make a few slits in it for the controls to poke through. That will keep out dust and pocket lint... Regards, Larry
