[hpsdr] Pandora announcement.... now a question

[John Ackermann N8UR]

Hi Vern --

That's a very good question, and one I probably should have addressed in 
the announcement.

If you want maximum performance, you will want the Alex enclosure to 
provide shielding around the filters.

However, the way Alex mounts in Pandora means that you will not need the 
end plates for the Alex enclosure, as the Pandora back panel provides 
the "front" panel for Alex (where the BNCs stick out), and a mounting 
bracket will provide the rear panel.

We are still working out just how the bits and pieces will be offered in 
a way that minimizes pain for the TAPR office, but in one way or another 
you'll be able to buy the Alex enclosure minus the end plates, and also 
buy the rear mounting bracket.  That should represent a cost savings, as 
the custom end plates for the Alex enclosure are not cheap.  So there's 
yet another reason to buy Pandora -- you'll be able to save a few bucks 
on the Alex enclosure!

Hope this helps.

John
