[Elecraft] new mini-modules: applications

[Darwin, Keith]

Is moving the BNCs and the battery box to the back of the board enough
to allow it (WM1 or Audio Filter) to mount cleanly in an enclosure or
will other components on the board prevent the LEDs or pots from poking
the right distance through the enclosure wall?

Also, for those who want to mount the WM1 in their own enclosure or
behind a panel, the PCB layout also accommodates mounting the BNC
connectors and battery on the -rear- of the PCB. This then provides
clearance for the bar graph LEDs to poke through an opening.

The LEDs can also be turned off under computer control for when the
meter is used just as a remote sensing device.
