====== Unboxing and first thoughts ======
I received my uBitx about 3 weeks after the payment, with standard package postage to avoid customs.

The components are in a plastic box and well protected :

The main board is clean and with understandable components :

The Raduino + 16x02 screen :

The Arduino Nano is a clone (CH340 driver instead of FTDI). Hope it will be fine to flash. Otherwise, I've some nano at home I'll be able to use if I encounter some problems (I remember lot of problem with CH340 drivers and Windows 10).

===== Fixing the loose screen =====
The LCD screen is only attached to the Raduino board by the 16 pins header. The problem is that it's not very resistant and there is a lot of play beetween the screen and the Raduino.

In a QRA installation, with no planified moves of the uBitx, it could be fine. But my idea is to have a rig to get on the move with, so I don't think it's a good idea to rely on the standard mounting.

So, I've designed a very simple part to be 3D printed twice, that will act like a spacer to screw the screen to the Raduino by 4x M3 screws.

Here is the picture of the fixed screen mounting system :

The STL file could be found on the Dropbox folder of the project. It's printed with PLA and I've used 4x M3x08mm screws with 2 spacers to reduce the thread length (6mm long could have been better but I didn't have this size).

Just with this change, the screen is well fixed and with the panel screws it will be very resistant and shockproof.
