Audio /Balanced Modular. I am using 'Muppet' style layout for the circuit boards, using double sided circuit board material. This should give a nearly solid shield between stages.

After playing with the layout for a while I realized this will be a fairly crowded board, and even had to stretch it out a little to get everything to fit. I did the layout as if I were going to use 1206 size surface mount components, and then placed a .1" square over each pad. This will give me the option of using


After etching the board I installed the connectors and checked how well it fit on the back-plane.
The board fits nice and comes down to the top of the back-plane, hopefully this will give adequate shielding between stages.
Not to start stuffing and testing the board.
I totally agree with your idea on the modular SMD design would like to follow you.

I have kind of stopped working on this and a couple other projects, and now looking at doing a version of the HF1 general coverage transceiver by Farhan
