Hi Neil, Sometimes where there a lot of SMT parts like bypass caps, a kit manufacturer will include extras as they have a tendency to "jump" off the tweezers, never to be seen again. By now, I'm sure there's a whole Colony of SMT parts plotting against me somewhere in the shack!
May I ask why you chose to build the Soft66B receiver? It seems like a dated design; a 4066 instead of an FST3253 for the QSD and relatively noisy LM358 op-amps. Wouldn't one of the recent Softrock kits have been a better choice both performance and price-wise? 73's David, WB4ONA --- In [email protected], "Neil McGrath" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have recently built the basic 40m Soft66db receiver and am very > pleased with its performance.
