Is moving the BNCs and the battery box to the back of the board enough to allow it (WM1 or Audio Filter) to mount cleanly in an enclosure or will other components on the board prevent the LEDs or pots from poking the right distance through the enclosure wall?

This then provides clearance for the bar graph LEDs to poke through an opening. The LEDs can also be turned off under computer control for when the meter is used just as a remote sensing device. 73, Eric WA6HHQ ---------- wayne burdick wrote: > To answer some of your questions: > > - Our new mini-modules, like the others, are intended as low-cost, > easy-to-build station accessories for experimenters.
