This page is for photos of the prototype system as it comes together...
The right-rear corner of the box. From top
down, you can see the Linksys WET11, the Inspired Energy 95 Watt-hour
Lithium-Ion smart battery, and the Kantronics KPC-3+ TNC.
This is the "plumbing corner" with the Elecraft T1 autotuner (and 817 smart interface, not yet in photo), the Tenna-Dipper bolted to the top of the tuner, and the snarl of coax and BNC connectors including one to the outside world. The little channel kluge in the foreground carries a BNC for the Tenna Dipper as well as a spring-loaded grounding post. The board on the right is the SMBUS smart charger for the Li-Ion battery, and the blue connector is part of the pressure transducer board.
This is a major moment... the removal of the protective paper on the top polycarbonate lid. I just finished mounting the kk7uq and Microham Y8 interface boards, the GPS from SparkFun, and the detented antenna mount harvested from the old Oki 491 3-watt cellular phone that was on BEHEMOTH for a while. In the photo, you can also see the Technologic TS-7200 ARM Linux board mounted atop the Yaesu FT-817, the Yaesu VX-2R on its platform, the speaker, the ambient microphone mounted atop the Palm mini-paddle, and the other components discussed in earlier photos on this page.
