I can't wait to see it!

The enclosure is off-white ABS with mounting flanges. I'm considering just putting all of the external signals (PTT, RX audio, TX audio, RXD, TXD, power in, power out, squelch, ground) on a single screw terminal block on the bottom. A single DB9 won't be enough, and there's not a lot of room for multiple connectors. Or maybe I'll add a vertical mount DB9 inside to make initial programming easier...
