[hpsdr] Re: HPSDR Enclosure - Pandora

[H. Gruchow]

Hi Henry,
thanks that you like this technique. The drawings for the bezels are exactly to fit with 
Janus and Ozy. All dimensions I tried to draw as exact as possible. So it reflects the 
'real world'. The bezel for Janus has a slot for the RJ45 connector because I got a 
version with a flange. I think that the TAPR version is without flange but with a panel 
stop. So the slot can be closed for that version.
Coming Saturday I will start to assemble the frame and I have various methods in mind for 
the joints but do not know exactly how they will work out. But I will keep everybody 
informed about the progress. In the past I have done similar cases but want this to be 
something special.
