ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

There are numerous solder connections on the AM25 printed circuit board.
Therefore, PLEASE take us seriously when we say that good soldering is
essential to the proper operation of your transmitter!
Use a 25-50 watt soldering pencil with a clean, sharp tip.
Use only rosin-core solder intended for electronics use.
Use bright lighting, a magnifying lamp or bench-style magnifier may
be helpful.
Do your work in stages, taking breaks to check your work. Carefully
brush away wire cuttings so they don't lodge between solder
connections.
We have a two-fold "strategy" for the order of the following kit assembly
steps. First, we install parts in physical relationship to each other, so there's
minimal chance of inserting wires into wrong holes. Second, whenever
