Re: Hints for successfully building the QDX

 

I thought about removing those inductors first as well, but I did not.? If you have two grounded irons (or one hot tweezers) pulling off a 2 leaded chip parts is pretty trivial anyway.? Lift the inductors straight up. Now feeding the leads from the electrolytic before the connectors is pretty clever.

That's a very good tip to remove the four inductors before starting construction.? It's a lot easier with no additional components on the board and the board able to lay flat on the desk.

Regarding the 0.6mm coil wires, I've always been able to burn off the enamel on every wire I've used before, even the 18swg (1.25mm) and 19swg (1.0mm) stuff used for winding big bandpass filters.? It just means changing the tip on the soldering iron to a larger one for that specific purpose and then changing it back again to solder them in.
