K1 RF Board Prep for KAT1

Tom Johnson
This post was updated on .
Before I go cutting into the RF Board (Revision D, year 2000) and soldering
resistors and capacitors together, I want to clarify my understanding.  

1)  Does "Solder capacitor RF-C76 across RF-R39.." mean that I leave RF-R39
soldered to the board and additionally solder the leads of RF-C76 onto the
leads of RF-R39 on each side?  

2) I do CUT the trace to the right of "DRV" and install RF-R4 between the
trace's contact points?  

3) I'm at this point only through Part I of the RF Board assembly and
alignment - I have already built the 4 Band Filter Board (KFL1-4, Revision
B), and KAT1 Revision C.  I'm assuming I do NOT prep the RF Board and
install the KAT1 board until I've completed the assembly and alignments of
the RF and Filter Boards?

Tom,

As instructed in the KAT1 manual, refer to page 31 of your K1 manual and
see if R39 is present.  If not, add it.  In either case, solder C76
across R39 - one capacitor lead to each resistor lead.

Do the trace cut as shown in the diagram on page 8 - I can't describe it
better than the pictures.  Install R4 as shown in the diagram.

You can make those RF Board changes at any time - except for removing
the end of R36 - wait until you install the KAT1 for that part.
