We elected not to dictate this because of the wide variety of uses and
integration possiblities for the user.

Some will install the PIG in the rig's enclosure with the LED and test
Switch in the front panel or some other part of their rig.

Others, not wanting to MOD a valuable piece of collector type rig, will
want to make a separate enclosure. Some will want their PIG to be shared
between different rigs.

In keeping with the many other QRP projects we recommend that the simple
ALTOIDS Box be used. Its has all the requirements: size, rugged, metal and
cheap.

The PIG was designed for FIELD USE so it's purpose is to indicate low
voltage by turning on a YELLOW LED indicating a warning of low battery
voltage condition. So that dictates it be positioned close to the operator's
key and in eyesight view.

By running two conductor cables out of the PIG's box via rubber/plastic
grommets to you battery and rig of choice via your cable connector
standards.

I have included pointers to two PIXs: (1) my normal FIELD configuration
(note LED is OFF) and (2) TESTING the Battery Condition (note the Yellow LED
is ON indicating fuse and battery level OK when pushing the test switch and
all is OK).
