when it come to RP3 on the main board instead of using the green hookup
wire, is it ok to use cut leads? they are easier to work with
Dave:
Yes that is fine to use. I usually use the hook up wire and install them
one at a time before removing the insulation. I just remove a 1/4" of
insulation and make a 90 degree bend and solder it in then trim it to the
1/2 length and pull the insulation off with my thumb and finger and then do
the next one until all 8 are done. This is an easy way to do it and you
still have something to hold on to if you don't cut the wires into eight
small pieces. There is nothing sacred about the length either. You just
need enough to get it soldered to the RF Board.
