12. Install the circuit board
assembly to the funnel cone
as shown. Use care to cen-
ter the circuit board before
you solder the assembly
completely. It may be easier
if you "tack solder" the
board into place before you
run a ring of solder com-
pletely around the board.
Careful now, the entire as-
sembly will be quite hot
while you are doing this.
You may want to use gloves
to protect your fingers from
burns (Ouch!). Solder all the
connections using enough
heat to flow the ground con-
nection completely. This
may take a little while de-
pending on the wattage of
your soldering pencil.
13. Install the disk section
of the antenna by passing
the three #6-32 screw ends
of the stand-offs through
the disk section of the an-
tenna while passing the
center conductor wire
through the center hole of
the disk. Secure the disk
section of your antenna into
place with the #6-32 nuts.
14. Solder the center con-
ductor wire into place on
the top side of the disk sec-
tion of the antenna. Trim off
any excess lead that is pro-
truding from the disk sec-
tion. Have a look at the dia-
gram to help out if neces-
sary.
