INTRODUCTION EGV-3B_BPFLPF The EGV-3B_BPFLPF is three-band filter plug-in module for the EGV-9Bv2 9-band CW transceiver PCB Main. There are two versions "L" and "H": The EGV-3BL is for 40-30-20m. The EGV-3BH for 17-15-12-10m. This module incorporates two 7-pole low-pass filters and one variable band-pass filter varicap tuned All the filters are switched by means of relays to avoid their interactions.
RECOMMENDED ASSEMBLY SEQUENCE All SMD parts soldered at the factory. You don't have to solder anything SMD Based on your experience you can place the components in the order you are used to. However I can recommend the following assembly sequence: ...

TOROIDS ASSEMBLY EXAMPLE: he following example is the low pass filter for 40m 40m LPF Toroids L6, L7 and L8. L6 and L8 are identical and are wound with 18 turns. L7 is wound with 20 turns. They use T37-2 (red toroids 9.5mm/0.375in outer diameter). Cut about 28cm (10.3”) of 0.4mm diameter enameled wire and wind the L6 and L8 toroids with eighteen (18) turns.

See the following pictures: The spacers to screw the board are 10mm and you have to add two nuts to gain about 4mm in height. To fasten to the main board, 10mm (M3x10) screws are used and to fasten the plug-in filter module, 4 or 5mm (M3x4) screws are used.
