This may be an Urban Legend, but.....

Has anyone ever run into or hear of a situation where a radio "from the
good old days" of steel chassis, would not work when built on an
aluminum chassis?

It has been some time since I heard that, so I do not recall the
details. I suppose it might have something to do with inductance or
magnetic fields???

Curious minds, and all that...

Hello everybody,
I just finished my first homebrew radio, a VHF receiver with PLL, and it's
time to put it in a box ! I've often read that HF circuits should be put in
metal boxes, but I don't know which one should choose. Are "sealed"
enclosures such as this one

better than boxes like that one

And do you think that plastic and ABS boxes are really bad for HF circuits ?

Thanks for your answers !
