❒ 70. Install C19, 22 pF.
❒ 71. Install Y1, the 10.24 MHz. crystal. No special procedure is required.
Simply press the crystal firmly into its holes as far as it will go, and make
good solder connections.
❒ 72. Install FL2, the 450 KHz filter. Its three leads are delicate and fit in
only one way.
❒ 73. Install C23, .001 uF [marked .001, 102, or 1 nF].
❒ 74. Install C27, 1 uF electrolytic, observe correct polarity.
❒ 75. Install D2, the 1N4148 signal diode, observe correct orientation of the
banded cathode end. Be sure you correctly identified D2 and did not
confuse it with the varactor diode already installed.
❒ 76. Install R16, 100K ohms [brown-black-yellow].
❒ 77. Install R15, 470K ohms [yellow-violet-yellow].
5. FINAL CONNECTIONS: THE LM386 AUDIO IC STAGE
You now have a working FM receiver ready for adjustment. The output of the
MC3359 FM IC simply needs to be boosted to listening level. A few more
connections, and your receiver will be ready for adjustment and testing! Now
would be a good time to review some of your previous work and also to make
sure you have on hand what you'll need for testing: antenna, fresh battery,
earphone or speaker with correct plug or adapter.

(U3) with the band or dot oriented correctly. Solder the 8 connections.
❒ 79. Install C32, a 100 to 220 uF electrolytic, observe correct polarity.
❒ 80. Install C31, .01 uF (marked .01, 103, or 10 nF).
❒ 81. Install C36, 4.7 or 10 uF electrolytic, observe polarity.
❒ 82. Install C33, 100 to 220 uF electrolytic, observe polarity.
