While we believe that the Ramsey enclosure and knob option is a fine value for finishing off your Ramsey kit, we are happy to give you a couple of additional suggestions and our reasons for them. If your first goal is economy and rugged portability, you will find that the circuit board can be mounted nicely in a standard VHS videotape storage box, which also gives room for storing cables, a small homemade keyer, etc. The controls are easily mounted at one end of such a box. It may be necessary to cut away the molded posts which secure the tape itself. These storage boxes come in several styles, so pick one which truly looks practical as a project enclosure. To accomplish RF shielding, the most economical metal enclosure nicely suited for Ramsey amateur kit board is Radio Shack No.
