I am interested in the power meter and stepped attenuator. However, since
it is no case, will there be risks of RF leakage?
How the design address RF leakage?

Subject: [Elecraft] New Mini-Modules - They're here!!
Hey guys, did you see? Three new mini modules are on the order page and
their manuals are available for download.
- Power meter
- AF filter
- Stepped attenuator
I looked them over and gotta say, I was very disappointed. I had really
envisioned a meter in a case that would match my K2. Something with a
backlit LCD that would display power and SWR to with 2 digits each (11
watts, SWR 1.2). I had plans to sell my Palstar meter (which won't do
QRP well) and get the Elecraft meter but now I'm really having 2nd
thoughts about that.
The audio filter looks really cool but, again, no case.
A power meter and an audio filter to me are not test equipment things,
their part of the basic station equipment. They'd get used every time
I'm on the air and as such they really should be in a finished case with
real silk screen labels and knobs.
It's not clear to me that either one could be mounted in a box as the
components & connectors may project too tall above the board and could
interfere with the pots & LEDs as they try to project through the front
of the enclosure.
