1. I made the first power up and everything went just like the manual. However, the preamp is marked on. The manual doesn't say which way it should be and I thought I'd check before I got too much farther.
On mine the preamp was always on even when it did not exist yet. 2. I'm confused about soldering the RF probe. I can't seem to find a good way to position and solder the RG174 cable ends to the banana plugs. There's just a slight dimple at the end of the plugs and I can't figure a good mechanical way to connect them before soldering. I cheated here. I bought a crimp on BNC for RG/174 and terminated the coax. I already use a BNC to banana plug adaptor for my voltmeter for other reasons. This just made the probe compatible with my system. However, this does make for a solid connection.
