ASSEMBLY
You may use “individual parts list” or the “value/quantity parts list”. The “value/quantity parts list” is the
quickest way to place components because all parts of the same value or type can be placed one after
each other. You will need, however, the “individual parts list” to know how each part is identified and its
location on the board. According to your personal experience you may prefer to use the individual list, to
play on the safe side. The location of all parts is very easy when using the 90 quadrants map. After
placing each component, you can mark it in the “checked column list”.
It is highly recommended to inventory all parts to make sure everything is available and ready for
assembly. Each builder may have his/her own way of organizing parts, but if you do not, you might try
using a block of Styrofoam packing material and poke the parts on it. Parts may be sorted by type, value,
and size (ohms, micro-farads etc).
RECOMENDED ASSEMBLY SEQUENCE
Resistors
The resistors are installed first. Place all resistors from R1 to R36 and the P4 trimmer (transmitter output
power adjustment).
DO NOT install now the potentiometers P1 (RF attenuator), P2 (volume) and P3 (fine tuning).
Refer to the parts list, select the first resistor, R1 and locate its place on the board. This resistor is placed
vertically; you need to bend only one leg. Most of the resistors are placed horizontally; bend their leads
as close to the ends as possible, and fit them into the holes marked on the silkscreen of the PCB. Take
care and avoid mixing resistors and axial inductors, which are a bit thicker. All resistors have a light
yellow body color with a gold band at one end. The resistor's leads once inserted, push the body down to
lay flat on the PCB, and on the other side bend slightly out the legs to hold the resistor in place. Then
turn the PCB over and solder the leads to the PCB pads. Make sure the resistor body lays flat over the
board to keep its legs as short as possible.
