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