To power your receiver, you will need to supply a source of clean dc power in the range of 9-12V to JP2. This can be from a
battery source or a well filtered dc supply. An inline fuse of 1A or less is recommended if a DC supply or 12V battery is used.
An inline fuse along with diode D3 serves to protect against reverse polarity damage to the receiver components.
For REV1B and later boards, the connections for power audio and antenna input along with ground are labeled on the board.
For earlier board versions, verify by looking at the back of the board to determine which pin is ground as it differs from the
REV1B layout shown above.
A speaker or headphone jack should be connected to JP3as shown by board labels. The supplied audio jack is for 3 pin
stereo headphones or amplified speakers so the ring and tip should be connected together at the jack for both channels to
be fed audio from the single output of the receiver.
