Build Instructions
- Align the SMD 2SC5551A RF Transistor onto Q1 pad in the center of the PCB. Using a temperature controlled solder pencil, solder without overheating.
- Align the four 100n SMD capacitors on the PCB and solder.
- Install resistors R1, R2, R3 and R4 on the PCB and solder.
- Install Toroids Transformer T1, Twist the Red & Green wires together to about 4 twists per inch. Wind 10 turns of the twisted wires onto the toroid. The magnet wire is heat stripable; trim each wire end to 3/4 inches. Prepare the toroid wires for soldering. Magnet Wire Soldering Details Here: One of each colored wires connects under the toroid and one of each colored wires connects on the outside of the toroid. One color wire should connect to J3/C4 and the other color connects to Q1. You should also have 2 different color wires connecting under the toroid via a PCB trace.
- R5,6,7 (not included) are used to attenuate the rf output. Place a jumper wire across R6.
- Connect the RF Amplifier via J1(input), J2(output) and J3(power).
