I did the first bit of real work on the ground station today, drilling the holes out for the antennas.
They needed to be set back quite far in the lid, as they need to sit behind the panel that will be inserted in the lid, and not foul it.
Thinking of building something similar?
Don’t make the same school boy error I made this evening…
These cases are a lot thicker than I thought.
Yup, the antenna fitting doesn’t go all the way through

I then spent about 20 minutes with a wood countersink bit (I know, right?) trying to bore out a wider hole on the inside without breaking through to the outside.
Success, in the end.
I’m using QMA connectors throughout, a quick-release version of the traditional SMA connector, they literally just plug on and clip off. Zero hassle.
That’s it, I’m past the point of no return now
