This $16 to $18 (plus tax) in basic hardware also presumes availability of
all needed drill bits and/or a reamer or punches of sufficient size to make
the needed access holes for the rear panel jacks. You'll also want to
figure on spray paint as well as a clear finish to protect the panel labels.
Tools and supplies, if not on hand, could cost much more than the CFX
enclosure kit itself.
In addition, this style of case will have to be utilized upside-down and
also length wise rather than as designed. This means that the top (black)
becomes the foundation for mounting the PC board with the standoffs as
well securing the
S0-239
antenna connector assembly. You may wish to
repaint the white bottom which now becomes the top. And, to use the
project labels (black lettering), you'll probably wish to repaint both pieces.
This adaptation of standard Radio Shack hardware is adequate for indoor
or occasional use but not recommended for mobile operation. We are
happy to provide this SUQgested alternative to the rugged case, knob and
hardware kit custom designed for the FX-series transceivers. The choice
is yours!
