<p><b>New page</b></p><div>A few notes on my initial PANDORA experience:<br />
<br />
1) We need to measure the distance between ATLAS and the LPU and see if we can get threaded male-female #4 spacers of the correct length to attach ATLAS to PANDORA,and provide the correct height to fasten the LPU.<br />
<br />
2) The screw to attach ATLAS to PANDORA which goes through the mounting ears of the DIN connector need to be slightly longer than the supplied 1/4" length. I used a pair of 3/8" length screws for this.<br />
<br />
3) I used #4 internal tooth lock washers under the four (4) corner screws that attach ATLAS to PANDORA.<br />
<br />
4) The Black Oxide coating on the supplied screws rubbed off a bit during normal handling.<br />
<br />
5) We need to locate a source for QUIET 90mm or 92mm fans, with vibration-isolating mounts (like rubber grommets?). The fan I am using is too small (80 mm), is secured with only two (2) screws, and the case acts like a sounding board, making this the loudest item in my ham shack! Prior to mounting, the fan was a typical PC case fan which was neither quiet nor loud when sitting on the workbench blowing air across the LPU and Mercury.<br />
