This article describes how to rebuild a matching unit of a Cushcraft R5
vertical -- by --G0WCW http://www.mrs.bt.co.uk/mrs/r5/ Nice work! http://www.mrs.bt.co.uk/mrs/r5/DSCN2478.JPG Enclosure The box is from maplin, product number YM91Y and is one of their 'IP enclosure' range. The box is 150 x 110 x 70mm in size (product codes YM91Y - grey, YM93B - grey with clear lid). Cost is around six UK pounds. It is physically the same size as the Cushcraft variant, but the PCB has to be slightly 'nibbled' at the corners to get it to fit inside the newer box. I'd say the original Cushcraft enclosure isn't that good as they used steel screws into brass fixings. The screws rust over and then shear off. In my view, the Maplin IP enclosure is a better solution to outdoor use (IP56 rated). |
