Ultimate Relay Card

Ultimate Relay Card 5.jpg

Ultimate Relay Card Connections

  • The RF input is the RFI pin of the 2 x 5-pin header on the left of the board (same as in the Low Pass Filter kit usage)
  • RF output cut the track from the SMA connector center pins and add a wire to connect it to the common bus track that runs horizontally across the board, finishing at the "RF" pad circled in yellow
  • Cut/Jumper
    • Cut on top side near Vertical SMA
    • Jumper on rear side
