Install J1, the 3.5mm audio jack where indicated.
The attached cable for input to your transmitter is
optional
. You can use a male/male 3.5mm stereo
jumper, or fabricate a permanently attached cable of your own choosing. We provide one male 3.5mm
stereo plug and a small cable tie to attach your cable for that option. You supply your own three
conductor cable. Use the ground connection on the plug as the common and connect that color wire to
the #2 pad on the PCB. The ring and tip for the other two connections, #1 and #3. The two Berg
jumpers on the PCB accommodate either combination for the dit/dah and ring/tip orientation.
This completes the electronic pcb assembly.
