Hello my fellow maniacs. Not sure, this may be a really boring questions. But, I built this control box, my first one.
But now, i also want to run my on/off switch for my Megawatt supply. But my box is short on room. The top 2 are P5 & P6, they are my channel expansion. http://www.cbtricks.com/radio ... er_mod.htm
the bottom right is my on/off swr lights. So has anybody used a box like this. Or any other box suggestions. Thinking should get away from plastic. But you people are the experts.

Re: Control Panel
Since nothing inside the box has an RF signal plastic will be fine. When you build something like a sampler or a meter enclosure then I prefer a metal box. If you are worried about any interference you can add ferrite beads to the wires.

Re: Control Panel
Good to know, thanks. In a building mood right now. Should look into building my own heater
