❒ 37. Install jumper JMP1.
❒ 38. Install jumper JMP3.
PROGRESS SUMMARY
So far, you have wired the tuned input from the antenna, the RF preamplifier,
and the SA602 mixer-oscillator, including the varactor tuning circuit. The work
you have done so far has actually formed a simple receiver capable of tuning
in VHF signals of all kinds and converting them to a low-level 10.7 MHz output
to be amplified by Q2. This is a good time to review the steps completed so far
before proceeding. Due to the many functions of the MC3359 FM receiver IC,
further assembly steps will be in the order of easiest parts installation.
