Just build it. The uBitX took me about 3 hours.

It is a cracking little beast.

What really will take the time is all the mods I have lined up

Just putting one together is very simple. Finding a box , cutting holes
and such takes a while. I made several mods to mine. Such as changing
the final transistors to another kind, several components were changed.
One major change for me was to change out the 4 or 5 capacitors in the
filter to widen the filter from about 1.7 to 2.3 KHz so the ssb sounds
better. Then the software changes. Some from others and a minor one or
two of mine.

Mr.Farhan did a very good service to the ham comunity with that unit.
Not very expensive, and works ok as is. Then others jumped in and have
some really nice software and mods to make it really work well for not
too much unless you use the fancy display that costs about what the
origional unit does. Even new cases cost almost half the unit. I just
hapened to have a minibox that only had a few extra holes in it that th
e uBITX just fits in.

Perhaps they will not be the most pretty ones ,but enclosures for the
ubitx and bitx40 or any piece of equipment can be easily made, at the
size one prefers , from low cost PCB sheets often available at flea
markets. I happily have a healthy stock.
