1.? Screenshot...? New Manhattan layout diagram for an AA7FO Noise Generator /w values
2.? 1698.jpg?????? How I mount a transistor with 3 legs on pads. Compact.? IMHO.
3.? 0614.jpg?????? Note diode and resistor lower right have leads soldered to ground plane.
4.? 0617.jpg?????? This is what I do when I have multiple leads going to a pad.? I wait
?????????????????? until I have all leads in place and then solder.? Saves expensive solder.
On the layout diagram.? The dark circles are pads with leads soldered to them.
The leads with multiple circles drawn represent the lead is soldered to the ground plane.
The resistors are mounted in vertical position.? And
1037.jpg
shows what parts mounted end up look like, even though this is with a Muppet board that
K7QO used to make for me.
I have not shown in the layout the specific details on attaching the 9V battery.? I
used the snap on critter that I got in quantity from ebay.? For the output I solder
the ground lug to the ground plane and it serves to give a good solid support to
the BNC connector.? Think outside the box for your own.
FYI.? Just wanted to clarify for the new Manhattan builders for now and in the
future.? Download the photos so you don't have to go looking for them.
I hope 1037.jpg looks OK.? It did with one viewer, but enlarged for view with
thunderbird for some reason.
