Almost done!

Now drill a 1/8" hole in the top of the case where the antenna will protrude out. Set the PCB in place where it is going to be (when reassembled) and eyeball where the hole needs to go. It doesn't need to be perfect but should be close to allow a 90 degree exit from the board and minimize the bending required for adjustment.

When done, carefully thread the antenna through the hole.
