Mount the top cover. Orient it with the notch to the rear. (The notch is to make the cover easy to remove

with a fingernail or small tool if needed.) Secure the cover with six 3/16” (4.8 mm) flat head screws; four on the

top and one through each side panel. If the angle brackets on the top cover do not fit properly, check the

orientation of the L-bracket carefully. The usual cause is an L-bracket installed incorrectly (see Figure 10).
Inspect the enclosure from all sides, loosening and retightening screws while adjusting the panels for the best fit.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that all case screws are tight but do not over-tighten the screws.

You can strip the threads or damage and scratch the screw heads.

. Good electrical contact

between the enclosure panels and the circuit boards is essential for proper operation.

That completes the assembly of your P3 Panadapter kit.
