Which case for the QCX mono band kit?
« on: October 19, 2019, 06:14:09 AM »

Hi All

there are many different enclosures for sale by QRP LABS. Which one would you recommend for the QCX?

Thanks!

I have not seen "many" cases offered but tried a 3D printed case and found it unsatisfactory. I now have the metal case that is currently offered by BaMa Tech and find it to be very, very nice.

QRP-Labs does not sell any enclosures for the QCX. The enclosures they do sell are for other QRP-Labs products. The case you want (which QRP-Labs DID sell at one point) is the Bamatech case that others have recommended. It fits like a glove and is very nice.

I built two using Hammond diecast aluminum cases. I can't remember the reference, but the one I used is the perfect size. Check out my videos (see signature), it's somewhere in there...

Don't know that you can get a QCX case from BaMaTech.  I just ordered one, and the confirmation email from BaMaTech both confirmed payment and denied shipment for reasons I don't understand.  Anyone have this problem or can shed light on what BaMaTech is talking about?

Dear OM Thomas,
many thanks for your order and payment from 02.04.2020. Attached please find our order confirmation incl. Freight.
We receive your payment via PayPal !
 Sorry, there is no shipping to USA at this moment ! 
You can wait or we send back your money
We hope for your understanding.

It is likely due to Covid-19 restrictions/limitations.

I also ordered a BaMaTech QCX case a few days ago and was informed that there is no shipping from Germany to the U.S. right now.  I elected to keep my order active and wait. 

My QCX-40 is currently housed in a 3D printed plastic case.  I don't care for it.  I will replace it with the BaMaTech case I have on order.

I just built this and did something a lettle different, I built the QCX and an Emtech ZM-2 into an older small suitcase, using a jump start battery pack for power. Looks like an old spy radio.
I got the idea from the ESK-52, Look at the overview on this page, lots of ideas for a unique radio.  https://www.cryptomuseum.com/spy/index.htm

Just a quick heads up....

I ordered the BaMaTech QCX case back in April, and it just arrived.  So, it looks like they are shipping out of Germany, now.

I received an email message from BaMaTech a couple of weeks ago, saying that shipping to USA had resumed.  I'm expecting my QCX case to arrived soonly.

UPDATE:  I received my BaMaTech case in early November and installed my 40m QCX in it.  Nice little case!  Perfect fit, quality construction.  Worth the wait and the price.
