Here is my plan,  I have a 6U rack mount case already and I am planning to build a GoBox out of it.

All unpopulated rackspace is filled with blanks or vents

  • 5″ LCD monitor w/ Raspberry Pi 3 Model B & TNC-Pi
  • 2 Front-firing Speakers (1 each for FT-450d and FT-8900r)

  • Yaesu FT-450d w/ Microphone and hanger
  • Yaesu FT-450d soundcard interface
  • Yaesu FT-450d PTT footswitch/headset adapter cable
  • Yaesu FT-450d PTT footswitch
  • Yaesu FT-8900r w/ Microphone and hanger
  • Yaesu FT-8900r data connection to TNC-Pi
  • Yaesu FT-8900r remote Microphone input Headset/PTT Footswitch adapter (Needed)

  • Lighted [LINE CONNECTED] LED Indicator
  • Lighted [BATT CONNECTED] LED Indicator
  • Lighted [EXT 12V CONNECTED] LED Indicator
  • Lighted [12V POWER] power switch to energize 12V power supply
  • LED voltmeter with momentary push-button switch
  • Dual Anderson PP 12V outputs
  • Powered USB 3.0 bulkhead connected to USB 3.0 HUB

  • (Possible) exhaust fan with LED Switch

  • Bulkhead Mains Power [MAINS IN] Fused/Switched – Common mode Chokes
  • Anderson PP [SOLAR/12V IN] – Common mode Chokes
  • Anderson PP [12V OUT] – Common mode Chokes
  • SO-239 HF Antenna – Common mode Chokes

  • SMA External GPS Antenna – Common mode Chokes

  • HF + 6M DSP 100W transceiver with ATU
  • Full CAT control and programming
  • Headset and PTT Footswitch
  • Provides HF and 6M CW/Phone/Digital/AM/FM
  • 12V supply wiring – Common mode Chokes

  • 10M/6M/2M FM 50W, 70cm FM 35W
  • Cross Band Full Duplex
  • Remote Programmable
  • Data connection to TNC-Pi, APRS, KISS
  • 12V supply wiring – Common mode Chokes

  • Powered from either 12V internal PS or 5V from 12V-5V DC-DC Converter
  • Connected to Front Panel jacks and Raspberry Pi
  • Allows external media and device charging

  • Ethernet or WiFi internet connection
  • CAT programming cables for FT-450d and FT-8900r
  • CHIRP for programming radios
