Replacing Module into Board:
This is the real tricky bit. Check all of your soldering, have you any shorts, is there any shorts to ground.
Remember, at this point on, when the sides are sealed and you resolder the Rx module back into the
Receiver PCB and it does not work, then you will have to de-solder Rx Module and the module sides
and recheck your work again.
At this point, if you are not really sure, then before you even solder the sides on of the Receiver Module,
with a signal generator and receiver or spectrum analyser, you can check that the Rx amplifier is
amplifying, by setting up a test jig.
Rx Module Test Jig:
Earth pins 1 & 6 of RF Amplifier side of RX Module. Be very careful of module pins, they can easily
break when soldering wire to them.
Apply a 10 Volt supply to pin 4 of the RF Amplifier.
Connect a 53.25 MHz signal generator to a 53.25 MHz receiver or Spectrum Analyser and note the
measurement out of the signal generator. [ie setup the signal generator to say Micro Volts.]
