After getting tired of just putting parts on a rack shelf, I decided to mount everything into an enclosure to make it look alittle neater.
Picked up a 1u rack mount enclosure, and installed a Masters communications RA-42 board, a lybre computer, added 2 fans, and remoted the LED's to the front panel.
Also added an external wifi antenna, so I can use it with my hotspot, or also have the option for a rear ethernet jack.
Still have some cable management to do, and some labeling, but it's pretty much complete.
Well expect for the software. LOL
This whole project is going into a portable rack case, with a power supply, and paired up with a kenwood TKR-830 low power repeater. Roughly 5 watts.
More to come...

Pretty fancy Dirk. I like it.

Great job, Dirk! Clean look and certainly declutters the shack. Way to go!
