Even if you already have built your Rainbow into a case, think how nice it would be transplanted into a bullet-proof, black anodized case with etched-in lettering. Will go great on the bench as well as in your portable station for the road!
And if don't yet have a Rainbow Tuner from the NJ-QRP Club, you better hurry up and order one because were down to the last 50 kits and there won't be another run!
