You would need to be careful about applying too much heat as most of those boards are not made very well. <br><br>If you use the method of not putting any components on the FOB but instead at the connector end and just connecting wires as shown in the simple howto it might be easier to put the case back on. <br><br>Of course in some situations you might not even need a case. You can cut a USB cable and solder to the existing connector on the FOB and place the FOB in any kind of small case with USB and audio cables exiting. This is somewhat how I did it in the "radioless" node on the hamvoip web page. Having the FOB not plug directly into the Pi would also avoid crowding at the Pi USB connectors.<br id="FontBreak"></font><br><b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">73 Doug</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">WA3DSP</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">http://www.crompton.com/hamradio</font></b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Wed, 11 May 2016 23:08:10 -0400<br>To: arm-allstar@hamvoip.org<br>Subject: [arm-allstar] Modified fobs<br>From: arm-allstar@hamvoip.org<br>CC: N1XBM@amsat.org<br><br><p dir="ltr">I'm finishing up some simplex nodes I'm building. I noticed that I'd have to modify the case on the fob and even then I doubt it will fit together well. What are people enclosing their fobs in? I thought about a peice of heat shrink. </p>
