I have an idea floating in my head about making a box out of 22 Ga galvanized steel to hold my scanners. The idea for this box would be to have the four scanners that I have (2 BC346xt 1BCD396xt 1BCD396t). They will be placed on the front with mic clip attachment points. Inside the box will be the coax and connections, Preamp and I was thinking an UPS surge protector to give me a little bit of power back up. In the back of the box will be the outlet for the surge plug and a connector for the antenna in line. My question is would I have interference with the powered devices being in closed in the same box as the coax lines. Some other possible issues I see is I plan on painting the inside and outside of the box to help with both rust and also any possible shorting to the metal that may occur. The other issue will be possible overheating and I was thinking of putting two USB computer fans on the sides to counteract this.
Any recommendations or suggestions would be helpful.
Thank you
