NOTE CONCERNING THE AUDIO OUTPUT JACK 
 

Your receiver kit is supplied with a standard subminiature 2.5 mm 
(3/32”) audio jack, which mates with commonly available earphone 
plugs and adapters available at Radio Shack, such as 274-290 (plug) or 
274-327 (adapter for 1/8” mono plug). If you prefer to use another size 
and style jack, we suggest that you still install the original jack and then 
wire your own jack in parallel with it rather than rough up the PC board 
to accommodate your jack.

75.  Install R15, 470K ohms [yellow-violet-yellow].   

 
5. FINAL CONNECTIONS: THE LM386 AUDIO IC STAGE

   

 
You now have a working FM receiver ready for adjustment. The output of 
the MC3359 FM IC simply needs to be boosted to listening level. A few 
more connections, and your receiver will be ready for adjustment and 
testing! Now  would be a good time to review some of your previous work 
and also to make sure you have on hand what you'll need for testing: 
antenna, fresh battery, earphone or speaker with correct plug or adapter.  

?

76.  Review the instructions for installing U1 and U2. Insert U3, the 
       LM386 IC  with the band or dot oriented correctly. Solder the 8 
       connections. 

?

77.  Install C32, a 100 to 220 uf electrolytic, observe correct polarity. 

?

78.  Install C31, .01 uf [marked .01 or 103 or 10nf]. 

?

79.  Install C36, 4.7 or 10 uf electrolytic, observe polarity. 

?

80.  Install C33, 100 to 220 uf electrolytic, observe polarity. 

?

81.  Install the battery snap terminal in the two holes below S1, 
       making sure that the positive (red) lead is inserted into the (+) 
       hole on the PC board. 

?

82.  The battery bracket may be attached in a variety of ways. A wire  
       jumper can be passed through the two holes on the PC board, 
       then both ends soldered on the underside of the board. You may 
       prefer to use very small screws or even a double-sided mounting 
       adhesive strip or glue. In using such methods, make sure that the 
       battery will not block the PC board's mounting hole in its vicinity. 

 
Wiring of the PC board is now complete. If you have the the patience, we 
suggest a short break. Then take a magnifying lens and a bright light and 
examine all your solder joints, touching up any connection which appears 
less than perfect. Make sure all excess leads have been trimmed, and 
that one is not bent back flat against the board, possibly causing a short. 
Brush the solder side of the board with a stiff brush to make sure that no 
loose wire trimmings or solder drippings (tsk tsk) are lodged between 
connections.
