The LDG QRP AutoTuner PCB assembly is complete:
  http://www.qsl.net/ke7gh/qrp.htm
More (better) pictures to follow.

Just started looking at the case mounting parts:

1) The case is excellent and all parts are included.
   An excellent value IMHO considering all hardware
   and the very professional case.

2) A "Local QRPer" told me that the little wiring
   diagram for the SPDT switches is upside down.
   To match the panel label, wires should be reversed,
   top and bottom on these switches.

3) Some folks have connected the LEDs backward (hence
   sucking all light from a room, creating "dark").
   Anyway, my manual was corrected by hand prior to
   shipment.

4) I personally prefer the threaded stand-offs that
   accept 4-40 hardware for PCB mounting. Will substitute.

5) The coaxial power plug supplied does not plug entirely
   into the supplied coaxial power jack? It'll work, though.

Will likely finish case wiring and PCB installation tomorrow.
Any further comments beforehand or before my initial application
of power to the device?

OBTW I'm so impressed with this QRP AutoTuner that I will buy one
     of the 100w units (group buy) to use with the IC-706.
