While we believe that the Ramsey enclosure and knob option is a fine value for
finishing off your Ramsey kit, we are happy to give you a couple of additional
suggestions and our reasons for them. If your first goal is economy and rugged
portability, you will find that the circuit board can be mounted nicely in a
standard VHS videotape storage box, which also gives room for storing cables,
a small homemade keyer, etc. The controls are easily mounted at one end of
such a box. It may be necessary to cut away the molded posts which secure
the tape itself. These storage boxes come in several styles, so pick one which
truly looks practical as a project enclosure. To accomplish RF shielding, the
most economical metal enclosure nicely suited for Ramsey amateur kit board is
Radio Shack No. 270-253A. This metal utility cabinet can accommodate both a
receiver, transmitter and amplifier board, plus speaker, with room for various
refinements you might like to add.
