Assembly Notes
Pre solder your banana jacks before installing. Slip the banana jacks into their corresponding slots. Then carefully and swiftly solder the wire from the wound toroid onto the jacks. There is a slot that allows the wound toroid to be secured to the print or you can heat shrink it. Whichever you prefer.
Notes
This transformer mount is just another solution out of many to mount your antenna feed point in a small and compact form factor. Perfect for the QRP operator.
