Mark

We have custom enclosures kits designed for use with the Karlnet boards
basically is everything you need besides the boards. Don?t let the
single qty sample price get in the way of emailing me off list for qty
numbers ;)
http://www.demarctech.com/products/reliawave-ode/reliawave-rw-ode-8585-k
it.html. We also can add another hole for the dual port boards.

Also FYI we have 18dBi antenna enclosures for the boards also.
