Description
This is an interface plate to put your XPA125B on top of your Icom IC-705 if you already have a Windcamp protective shield .
a stand in the back of the xpa125 will hold it in the same angle as the 705.
There is also a little enclosure which you can click on to the amplifier. If you like to make the bluetooth automatic band switch
it uses a D1 mini and some perf board. https://www.amazon.com/ACEIRMC-ESP-WROOM-32-Bluetooth-Development-Compatible/dp/B08PNWB81Z?sr=8-3&language=en_US
The band switch you can find here : https://github.com/jimd2002/IC-705-XPA125b-with-ESP32-INO-file/blob/main/sketch_may10c_2025.ino
It works like a charm.
added a split version of the spacer with spring clamps (don't have a better word. I bet you know it).
because of the printing direction, the load is on the layers which is sub optimal.
But the clamps don't have to bend that far.
Because I edited the original interface plate, the space between the two spacers cannot be changed. So your printer will take a -extra travel time- bit longer to print as it would when you determine the spacing between the left and the right part.
