Figure 19 Pot With Tab Removed - ozQRP MDT Construction Manual

Step 16: Pots
The two pots are soldered into the locations marked at the front of the board. The Tune control
is a 50K linear pot and the AF gain control is a 10K logarithmic pot. Before placing into the
board, break off the metal tabs as shown in Figure 19. This allows the front face of the pots to sit
flat against the front panel.
Push the pot pins through the board as far as they will go and solder in place. Double check
when mounted that the pot shafts are parallel to the PCB.
