5: As you fit these coils back to the board, we recommend the use of a hot glue gun to both fix the wire to the
former, and the former to the board to make sure it can't float about [on the non solder side]. The next thing
to do is to swap the cores between the coils , and once that is done, it is time to commence fitting it all
back together.
At this point in time, check that the VCO PCB pins fit into the “Receiver Board”; if they do not, then gently
bend them to fit.
You have two options from this point on.
The
first method
is the traditional one, where the VCO PCB is replaced into the VCO module, the side of the
module is affixed, then the VCO module including the VCO PCB with coils are fitted back to the “Receiver
Board”. This method is probably the best for mobile operations, however if you intend to use your FM92E
converted to 6 meters, then the second method is easier.
The
second method
is to cut down the VCO module [without PCB], so the VCO PCB with coils will slip vertically
into the VCO module case. This method enables a smooth replacement of the VCO PCB & the VCO module
case. This method is the simplest.
