Hi Bob,

Is your kit a 40m/30m kit or a 40m/80m kit? If it is a 40m/30m kit (yellow cores for winding the inductors) then the 30m crystal is a 40.5 MHz crystal. If you have a 40m/80m kit (red cores for winding the inductors) then you should have a 28.224 MHz and a 28.06 MHz supplied with the kit.

Thanks and 73,
Tony KB9YIG

Hi Benny,

The ICs that mount on the bottom of the v6.2 SoftRock Lite board are such that if an IC provided in the kit fits a location then it is the right IC for that location. Look for the small "1" marks in the bottom-side copper. The pin one corner of an SOIC part is the lower left corner when the writting on the IC can be read upright from left to right.

Yes, the nine 1206 capacitor locations are for the 0.1uF SMT capacitors provided in the kit.
