(1) We wanted to stretch your battery budget:  with the LED drawing 
about 6 ma, how long will your battery last if you leave your receiver on 
for a few days, just like we leave our computers and Ham or computer 
accessories on all the time?  
(2) We thought you'd have more fun planning and installing your own 
lamp that glows in the dark!   
(3) We could not decide which color you would like best!    
 
 

 
THE RAMSEY ELECTRONICS CASE, KNOB & HARDWARE 
OPTION

   

 
Your finished receiver can be installed in a variety of enclosures of your 
own design and choosing. You might be planning to combine several 
Ramsey circuit  boards in a single enclosure. Use of the inexpensive 
and attractive Ramsey case and knob kit will give your unit that finished 
look and increase its resale value. These sturdy black instrument cases 
are supplied with neatly-lettered front and rear panels, knobs, rubber 
feet and mounting screws.   
 

OTHER ENCLOSURE RECOMMENDATIONS

   

 
While we believe that the Ramsey enclosure and knob option is a fine 
value for finishing off your Ramsey receiver or transmitter, we are happy 
to give you a couple of additional suggestions. 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 a speaker, or earphone storage, and even a roll of 
antenna wire. 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 cassette itself. These storage boxes come in several styles, so pick 
one that looks truly practical as a project enclosure.  
 
To accomplish RF shielding, the most economical metal enclosure 
nicely suited for Ramsey amateur kit boards is Radio Shack No. 270-
253A. This metal utility cabinet can accommodate both a receiver and 
transmitter board, plus speaker, with room for various refinements you 
might like to add.
