Recently there was some discussion about wanting to mount the W! 
power meter in a case and several suggestions were offered.

I have just finished mounting mine in a 4" X  2" X 5 1/5" utility box 
by making a small pc board to mount the LEDs separately.  It turns 
out that there is no need to run a wire from each LED leg to the main 
board; the way the LED's are matrixed you only need 12 wires.

The 4" X 2"  front panel has the LED indicators for forward power and 
SWR mounted horizontally with the 3 LED range selection LEDs mounted 
underneath and the on/off switch in the lower right corner. The coax 
connectors, DC power in, and the digital socket are mounted on the 
back panel. The main board is mounted on several spacers in the 
bottom of the box.

It makes a nice addition to my small station if I do say so my self. Hi.

If anyone is interested I can send you a .pdf file with some 
pictures. Just contact me off the reflector.
