Evening all. I got another bright idea (while at work) to modify this little sdr into an external unit. Here is my first drawing/ruff sketch. I have a few questions.

1- Can i or should i run small ferrite chokes on all the inputs and output (internal signal connections and internal usb connection)

2- Can i or should i reroute the IR led on the usbstick to a panel mount power (blue) led

3- Should i use sheilded thin cable for all the inputs and outputs.

4- Should i sheild the plastic box im going to put this all into.

5-Should i move the usb input to next to the bnc input. In the drawing i have them on opposite sides.
Any other ideas?
