Install all of the lettered capacitors shown below (CC, CM, etc.). After inserting each capacitor, bend

its leads slightly to hold it in place. Limit soldering time to 2 or 3 seconds per lead, using a minimum
amount of solder to avoid ground shorts.

__CC and __CM (27 pF, "27" or "270")
__CG and __CH (39 pF, "39" or "390")
__CE and __ CK (39 pF, "39" or "390")
__CA and __ CP (39 pF, "39" or "390")
__CF and __ CJ (100 pF, "101")

Install short wire jumpers at CD and CL. Use discarded component leads to form the jumpers. Do not

leave any excess lead length above the board.

Capacitors CB and CN are not used and should be left open.

Install the 0.1 µF capacitors ("104") with 0.1" (2.5 mm) lead spacing.

__C4 (near X1) __C13 (near X7)

Install the 0.1 µF capacitors ("104") with 0.2" (5 mm) lead spacing.

__C15

__C18

__C27

__C32

__C46

Install the .01 µF capacitors ("103") with 0.1" (2.5 mm) lead spacing (C1-C3, etc.). Use the Parts

Placement Drawing to verify the reference designators on capacitors in the crystal filter area that are not
labeled.

Note: You'll have one .01 µF capacitor of this type left, which has been included as a spare.

Install C37 (.001 µF, "102"), which is near the microcontroller, U1.
