BITX DIGI-TIA Build Update #6: Boxing it up!

 
Basic Basswood Box (From Michael's or Amazon)

 
Space cut out for Si5351 board and for AF Gain and Mic jack

 
Copper flashing placed (from Home Depot)

 
Amplifier Chain placed along the back
 
 
Note Plug-In Low Pass Filter

 
Starting to look Rig-ish

 
The View from Above

 
Still to do:
 
Socketry along the back (Antenna, 12V, external amp T/R control, Speaker, MAYBE:  IF connection).
 
 
Relay wiring (I'm trying to do this with just 2 DPDT relays: one for Low Pass Filter switching and External Amp T/R control,  and one for 12V T/R switching, and Bandpass Filter switching.
