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 as securing the SO-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 suggested alternative to the rugged case, knob and hardware kit
custom designed for the FX-series transceivers. The choice is yours!
