I'm upgrading my HL2 from the 40 MM to 55 MM case. I have the N2ADR IO Board and am adding VA2CST's LDG Tuner support and I need to use the 55 MM case to give clearance for the breadboard jumper cables.

To be clearer. I'm looking for the 55mm plate with the ethernet connector on it. I consider this the faceplate. Matt has the plate that has the SMA connectors.

I had some made from this post by K2TC and at the bottom of the linked post is a zip file, download "HL2_SDR-User_Eco1.zip"
Download it and save it.

Then, go to JLCPCB click 'Get instant quote' and upload the zip file.

I got 5 made in black and delivered to the UK for total ~$10 (make sure to select black or else you get green and at checkout, select cheapest airmail and not expensive Fedex/UPS etc - arrived in less than 10 days)

I have 3 spare if anyone in the UK needs one (postage outside UK is not cost effective as JLPCB is so cheap).

Steve, you'll need to order the push switch to go in the front panel too.
I wired mine in and it's easier to power on/off that way.
Good to have worked you on 6m on the 27th of this month ;-)
