M0XPD Goes 3D with Boxed BITX with Digi-Hinge!
Paul, MOXPD, has put his BITX-based rig in a proper box. In spite of his recent collaboration with famed miniturizer Pete Juliano, Paul used a BIG box. It is not quite milk carton size, but it is getting there. Well done Paul. I really like the way Paul kept the digital and analog elements in different dimensions. The digi bit is sort of floating above the main analog board (almost in a "cloud"!). In SolderSmoke 163 Pete Juliano mentioned a downside of this kind of stacking: it makes it hard to get to the main board. Paul ingeniously solved this problem by putting the digital board on a hinge. Excellent. This will prevent you from becoming "unhinged" when the time comes to fix or modify the main board.
Here are all the details on Paul's project:
