Having been impressed by the receiver I could not resist building another one, especially at the price! My supplier of the A/D board had a spare board and as G4BVY also wanted to build one a receiver for skimming purposes so we combined orders
I also discovered GI4DOH had designed (after many iterations) a 3D printed box that was a custom fit to the board stack so I managed to get the .stl file from him and I printed one (took 4 hours (box and lid) on my 3D printer
The printed box was much smaller than my diecast box and was unscreened. I also could not see a way of getting a switcher PSU in the box and heatsinking it so i continued with the external 5V PSU supplied with the FPGA board
The box also has provision for a fan. I fitted one but have not needed it yet
