DRAFT assembly and operating instructions

DRAFT assembly instructions CLICK HERE (7.5 MBytes PDF file). This document is NOT final! It is targeted initially only for the 17m YOTA buildathon constructors. The final document will include specification of components for other bands (where the component value is band-dependent in the kit). There are a few changes to the firmware that affect the operating instructions, including addition of CW keyer “weight” configuration. There will also be measurements of Rx and Tx current, and a chart of power output against supply voltage (by band).
