1. Mounted the Rig Runner (Image 2)
- I'm only using zip ties at the moment, but I like the position and it makes sense to just continue using them.
2. Mounted a 110v inverter on the side of the box. (Image 1)
- 250 w
- 12v in
- Outputs:
- 5v (USB)
- 110v AC
- 12v (direct pass through)
- Also provides a small light
3. Cut a hole in back wall to the right of the radio shelf. (Image 3)
- Allows for a RJ-45 connector and speaker cable to connect to the radio when the radio is inside the case.
4. Mounted a speaker. (Image 1)
- Cable is run to the cutout in Image 3.
- When the radio is on the shelf, the internal speaker is covered. Audio is a bit clearer with the second speaker.
5. Connected a multi-meter to the Rig Runner (Image 1)
- Created a dedicated cable to go from banana plug to powerpole
6. Added various zip ties throughout to clean up some cables.
7. Created a power cable for the TNC-X
7. Created a power cable for the TNC-X
- Used with a USB to serial converter because the FTDI chip on the TNC-X has been acting silly.
- Coax power connector is Radio Shack type L (I believe)
8. Mounted an RJ-45 connector to the front of the box (Image 1)
- When the radio is on the shelf, the mic connector is covered by the box.
- The cable connected to this connector is run to the hole in Image 3.
