I love 50 cal ammo cans. Here is another great use for them.
Thought this project fell by the wayside?
No So…
The Version 1.0 is the Anytone Smart CB and a QYT KT-8900 VHF/UHF, External speaker, USB Power Ports x2, Volt Meter, Anderson Power Pole power inputs, and a 40mm, 5 CFM Fan to move some air in the box
The CNC faceplate didn’t work out… The cuts are not square, nor are the holes where I asked for them… and the radio cutouts are either too large, or too small…
So I went old school: table saw, Jig saw, and drill…
Got it all crammed in there… built it free standing
Snug fit in the box
Recessed for the mics to lay on top
Need POWER!
Using a basic RS Scanner/2m/70cm antenna in my garage attic at 12′ AGL, full quieting into a repeater about 120 miles to the north west
That will work…
