I just ordered the Elecraft noise generator.

Hi Alan,
I make enclosures for some of the other mini-modules, but have yet to come up with enclosures for some of the test bench kit versions. Looking at the NGen, it looks like it would be pretty simple. I just came up with a way to use a sliding top on the enclosure so that in this case you would slide the top back to turn it off and on and also replace the battery. They are made with polycarbonate or acrylic plastic and are clear so you can still see the LED (and of course your beautiful assembly work). I have an NGen that is a couple of years old. If they have not changed the design at all, I could try to make one up if you like. I would guess a price range of $15 - $18 dollars or so. Here are examples of the other work I've done on the mini-modules: http://w8fgu.home.comcast.net/~w8fgu/enclosures.html Feel free to contact me off list if your interested.

I'm still on for an enclosure too Dave.
For others here, Dave's enclosures are very good, well made and thought out with regards to the module they enclose.

Dave,
If you do make enclosures for the mini-module test devices, your plan sounds good with the sliding top, but consider making room to mount a toggle switch on the enclosure - most have a BNC connector on one end and I would like to have room to mount a switch on the same end the BNC is located - wire the extra switch in parallel with the normal switch and no need to open the cover to turn it on. I would not advocate expansion to any other controls such as the XG2 bandswitch or the pots on the 2T-GEN since they are not used as often as an on/off switch. I am only asking for a bit of extra space to mount that optional switch, not for inclusion of the switch or even a hole to mount it - I have my own drills and switches. Yes, it would be nice if these test devices had a cover so they could be stacked on the bench more neatly. 73, Don W3FPR Dave Van Wallaghen wrote: > Hi Alan, > > I make enclosures for some of the other mini-modules, but have yet to > come up with enclosures for some of the test bench kit versions.

Joe,
Not required IMHO. Dave said they would be made with a sliding cover. It should be easy enough to slide the cover back and access these controls - IMHO that is easier than providing screwdriver access holes. Perhaps I am speaking only from my own experience, but I use the XG2 a lot, and the bandswitch stays on 40 meters and the slide switch stays at the 50 uV setting almost all the time. Yes, I am typically adjusting the CAL S HI setting, and I do that on 40 meters with the preamp off. The other settings are used but very seldom. I realize I am not the 'normal' user, and I have an HP8640 on the workbench too if I need additional levels and frequencies, but the XG2 is just so handy, I can't resist using it. Now if Elecraft would provide another mini-module - the same high level xtal oscillator circuit as shown in the K1 and K2 manual troubleshooting section, that would make a great addition to the set of test instruments - I use my HP8640 (which goes up to +20 dBm) for that, but most builders do not have that capability, and an inexpensive high level signal source would be a real asset. 73, Don W3FPR Joe Subich, W4TV wrote: > >> I would not advocate expansion to any other controls such as the >> XG2 bandswitch or the pots on the 2T-GEN since they are not used >> as often as an on/off switch. >> > > I would be interested in a case for the XG2 but it would need at > least a screwdriver hole for the bandswitch and possibly one > to reach the output level (slide) switch. > > 73, > > ...

If one has the equipment and skill to drill a 1/2 inch hole in very
thin sheet metal, the XG2 fits perfectly in an Altoids mint box. Take the rubber feet off and put an old credit card in the bottom to prevent the solder joints from shorting to the case. The top pops open for easy access to all the controls. 73 -- Joe KB8AP On Aug 21, 2009, at 6:29 PM, Joe Subich, W4TV wrote: > > >> I would not advocate expansion to any other controls such as the >> XG2 bandswitch or the pots on the 2T-GEN since they are not used >> as often as an on/off switch. > > I would be interested in a case for the XG2 but it would need at > least a screwdriver hole for the bandswitch and possibly one > to reach the output level (slide) switch. > > 73, > > ...

To cut a nice hole in almost anything (thin metal, plastic, leather, cloth, etc), TIGHTLY clamp a piece of smooth plywood or particle board (say 5/8 inch thick) on both sides of the material and just drill through the entire sandwich with a sharp drill bit. 73, Dave AB7E Joe Planisky wrote: > If one has the equipment and skill to drill a 1/2 inch hole in very > thin sheet metal, the XG2 fits perfectly in an Altoids mint box.

Good idea David and one I'll bear in mind, but you can't clamp like
that into an Altoids tin, because it has a rolled lip, come to think of it, would a 1/2 hole go in the side?

Actually, you should be able to cut a hole on the end by carefully carving a relief channel in the wood for the rolled lip. You'd probably need to be a bit more careful, though, since the rolled lip isn't solid inside and the metal would be somewhat more likely to tear there. By the way, I've never tried it but I suspect you'd be able to cut a hole in almost any irregular surface by casting the material in something hard that can be later softened or dissolved ... like drywall plaster or hard candy. 73, Dave AB7E David Ferrington, M0XDF wrote: > Good idea David and one I'll bear in mind, but you can't clamp like > that into an Altoids tin, because it has a rolled lip, come to think > of it, would a 1/2 hole go in the side?

And if someone figures out how to make it or the XG1 work on 10M I would be
very interested. Tried a 10M fundamental crystal and played a little with the caps, but no luck so far. I use 10M to measure coax loss to the tower on all my buried coax lines. I changed the crystal to 160M with a XG1, that works well with a whip antenna for checking receive antennas. Maybe Elecraft will come out with an XG6 in a case?
