Now we are getting somewhere! All your careful preparation will pay dividends
as we install the coax cable to the circuit board. We did this first as it can be
quite difficult to perform this operation once the circuit board is installed on to
the cone.
5. Using the 3 #6-32 screws
provided, insert them
through the circuit board as-
sembly as shown. Fasten
the screws into place using
the #6-32 stand-offs pro-
vided. Be careful not to
over-tighten the nylon parts
or they may shear off.
Now we are getting to probably the most difficult solder connection of the entire
antenna kit! We will solder the circuit board assembly to the funnel cone. This
may take considerably more heat than a single 25 watt iron can provide, you
may wish to use two irons or an additional heat source to speed things up.
