This 6 channel receiver was originally conceived as a single-space
rackmount device. Lectro then quickly morphed it into a box for field
use, essentially by folding the 'wings' underneath the main board. The
resulting lunch-box affair was neat-o, but still a little bulky for real
field in-the-bag use. I've always looked at this product with an eye towards sizing it down, and I finally squeezed the project in this week. Primarily, I re-designed the NP-1 battery receptacle to save a 1/2 inch off the height of the box:
The above photos show the size savings after the mod. I also re-positioned the LCD and shaved a 1/4 inch off the top of the faceplate. Also, the antenna inputs are re-routed to the front of the cabinet. Now it can ride bag-style with some much needed space savings. Still too big for run-n-gun bag, 6 individual receivers will still occupy about half the space. Fun project, though.
