Items printed in blue are leaded - all else are smd

For anyone who would prefer to use rf connectors on the main pcb, this is possible - the board has been drilled for 5mm square items (ie, sma, smb, mmx), but these are not supplied as standard in the kits, the coax interconnects being soldered direct to the pcb (as can be seen in the pic at the beginning of the page).

Build procedure

It helps to have familiarized yourself with both the circuit and the layout before you begin. Start with the bottom (track) side - this all surface mount. It is easiest perhaps to start with the smaller items first. Certainly fit IC2 before the tantalum capacitors C4 and C5, since they tend to restrict access to the IC pads, but other than this, the order of placement is not important. For those who have ordered the components as well as the pcbs, simply work your way down the the card on which the components are supplied. Be careful to fit the tantalum 22uF capacitors the right way round (the +ve end is marked with a bar). The supply diode D1 is similarly polarised. In both cases, check your build against the layout drawing above.
Use a hot pencil tip iron, and thin solder (less than 1mm dia).

Solder blob links LK1, LK2 and LK3 - a pic of this is shown below.

Be careful not to mix up components. Although the resistors are marked with their values, the capacitors are not. A list of the semiconductor markings can be found here.

When all the bottom side components have been fitted, connect a 12v supply to the '+10-18v input' pad (Note: NOT the '+8v O/P' pad!). The supply current should be 100mA +- 20mA. Check that the output from the two 8v regulators are correct, and likewise that the output from IC2 is 3.3v.

Now fit the top-side coils. Be very careful to fit the green and red marked coils to the correct holes! (see board picture above) - removing incorrectly fitted coils without damage to either coil or pcb is no trivial matter. The two dual helicals (L11 and 12) can be fitted either way round - they are both electrically and physically symetrical.

Solder in the 10k pot.

Finally, fit the surface mount TCXO, this time being very careful to note the correct orientation, as bellow. If in any doubt, after fitting check that the resistance from the TCXO lid to the top copper layer is less than 1 ohm (or, if out of circuit, measure the resistance between the lid and the bottom right pin, and if less than 1 ohm, fit in the same orientation as the pic).
