270 Ohm or 220 Ohm?

[Akane]

Hi Alan, firstly I want to say thank you, I have received the replacement SLC for my NAW_7S

I have come up with a bump while putting the kit together.  In the manual it says R11: 270 ohm Resistor.

But the only thing that comes close in the kit included is a 220 Ohm 1/4 W, 1 piece.

So which is which?

It looks like a 270 Ohm inside that packet though.

close up shot.  Looks like 270 Ohm, just written wrong on the packet.  But I just wanna be 120% sure.

Also diode SA60A is labled "SA6A0" in the manual.

That is 270, the label must be wrong. I will correct the SA60A in the manual, thanks for the info.

Not only on the manual but I think on the printed board too.

This kit ain't for beginners for sure.  Took me 6 hours to complete although I was taking it slowly, towards the end I was getting sleepy and soldered a transistor with the wrong orentation.  But the board's layout and quality is very good, the kit is very complete and not too hard to follow.  I can tell you have put a lot of thought onto the layout, thanks Alan

thanks, i will put in the correction on the pcb label in the next batch of PCBs.

It does take a while to solder the stuff, nothing tricky but as you said it is just alot of stuff to solder. The actual wideband portion of the circuit is only about half a dozen passive components. The bulk of the components are there for current limiting and voltage protection. Once built, the unit should have a very long life.

yes
in my kit that i got ~ 1.5 weeks ago it had the same issue
i figured that it was a mistake and it was the right resistor cause it just didnt make sense

thank god that it was right
