Finally!

All done printing the faceplates!

My daughter and I successfully sent and received test texts to one another once everything was setup.

I removed the other shelf thinking that it would relieve the pressure on the power and reset buttons, but this turned out to be wrong.

I recently bought a Moonraker 80m - 6m antenna, thinking I could mount it onto the same conduit pipe that I mounted my 2m antenna on. What i learned is that the conduit pipe is in no way suitable for a large, heavy antenna, and could break under the antenna's weight. Guy wires are also a must with the Moonraker.
