Side panel drilling dimensions: 

 

Below  the  dimensions  shown  in  the  Y  axis  are  referenced  to  the  bottom  of  the 
board. To this one would have to add the thickness of the board (0.061”) plus the 

board mounting spacers and the thickness of the front panel to get the proper Y 
distance.  

 
Not  knowing  the  size  of  the  chassis  you  might  use,  the  dimensions  below  are 

shown from the edge of the board in one axis, and the surface of the board in the 
other. 

 

Additional construction note: 

 

There  are  provisions,  as  mentioned  earlier,  concerning  J4,5.  These  are  provided 
for  adding  an  external  speaker,  and  or,  SKC  keyer.  The  mounting  holes  are 
provided for these options in the optional Pacificon Chassis. Mounting instructions 

for these additions can be found in the chassis assembly manual. If you exercise 
this  option,  remember  to  remove  the  speaker  jumper  installed  earlier.  Shown 

below are the details for J4,J5 and the optional SKC keyer. 
 

If you are adding the KD1JV SKC Keyer and associated pcb chassis, assemble the 
keyer  to 

Option2

 

in  the  keyer  instructions.  Trim  the  header  plug  and  wire 

assemblies to 5” from the far end of the connector to the ends of the three wires 
on  each  of  the  two  assemblies  supplied.  Strip  and  tin  about  1/8”  of  each  wire. 

Wire the interconnecting pigtails as shown below, and use a piece of the trimmed 
pigtail wire to connect the “Function Tone” pad to the speaker  jack as shown in 

“green”. Mount the main SKC board to the bottom of the chassis where indicated 
by the outline, with a piece of two sided foam tape. Secure the speaker jack with 

the 

pins down

. Secure the speaker jack and keyer jack to the side pcb using the 

threaded rings. Plug the pigtails into the correct header.
