Hi Chris,
C102 is not used on the 10m daughter board so the 4.7 pF cap is not needed in the kit.
112.36 MHz overtone crystals are on order and hopefully will be in this week. I have the envelopes addressed to send these crystals to those who have place an order for a crystal just as soon as I receive my crystal order.
The daughter board may be tested by soldering in a 1000pF cap in one of the crystal positions, select that "crystal" with JP100 and check for frequency of oscillation. Adjust the turns of L100 to get the output frequency to about 112 MHz. Make sure the p-p volts output of the daughter board is slightly more than 3 volts.
73,

I am building a 10/12 meter kit for a fellow and in my bag o' parts for
the daughter board I had a blue 4.7 pF cap left over when I finished
building the board. Is this the C102 "Not Used" cap?
Also thee were no crystals included in the kit. I saw an earlier email
in the archives from Tony and I am assuming that the crystals are on
order. The person I am building the kit for didn't mention anything to
me about not having the crystals.
