case to the PC board ground plane. The SD1127 power transistor is
designed by the manufacturer to be soldered directly to a PC board
ground plane for heat sinking and proper VHF performance. This part is
different from other metal can transistors in that the case is connected
internally to the emitter rather than the collector. This provides much
higher gain at VHF frequencies.
112. Install C19, 10 pf disc capacitor (marked 10 or 10K).
113. Install C6, 100 pf disc capacitor (marked 100 or 101).
114. Install L10, small ferrite bead RF choke you wound earlier.
115. Install C26, 100 pf disc capacitor (marked 100 or 101).
116. Prepare an ½ inch long wire jumper from the heavy tinned bus
wire used for winding coils previously. Install this jumper in the L8
location on the PC board. This wire must sit flat against the PC board
and not up above. Believe it or not, this wire is actually an inductor
providing impedance matching into Q6.
117. Install L7, a 1½ turn coil wound previously. Ensure that the coil is
seated flush against the PC board and not mounted with long leads up
in the air - which would add undesired additional inductance.
118. Install C11, 100 pF disc capacitor (marked 100 or 101).
119. Install C20, a 10 pF disc capacitor (marked 10 or 10K).
Wow! You’ve completed most of the RF output section of the Sly Fox
transmitter. Give your eyes a well deserved rest now - only ten parts to go
before the entire unit is ready for testing. After your break have a good hard
look at your creation for solder bridges and misplaced components - these
can be costly errors especially in the RF output section - those components
are expensive! Touch up any questionable connections.
Lastly we’ll assemble the low-pass filter section of the transmitter output and
the power detector section of the transmitter. Please pay particular attention
to component lead lengths while constructing this section, as long leads will
add unwanted inductance to your circuit. To optimize this filtering it has been
placed on a separate circuit board which we’ll build first and then install.
IMPORTANT NOTE
When constructing the Low Pass Filter PC board it is important to
understand that the components will be installed on the “solder” side of
the circuit board, or the side containing the printed circuit traces.
Solder the components on the same side, and then clip the leads as the
