SA7—6 5. Install C5, .01 uF. Notice that C5 lines up with the DC voltage supp ly points on the PC board. If you have y our red (+) and bl ack (-) supply wires ready, they could be installed now while correct polarity is on your mind. 6. Install R4, 1K ohms (brown-black-red) .
SA7—7 Installation of C6 and R6. The styl e of these components might be new to you, but don't be concerned. We' ll get them in right.

SA7—8 Procedure for installing SMT R6: 1. Unpack from cardboard protective holder and study how R6 is made, usi ng the magnifier if necessary. 2. Notice that bot h ends are metallic - these are the soldering points. 3. Lightly pre-tin the PC boar d trace point s where R6 is to be positioned.
SA7—9 USING YOUR SA7 PRE-A MP The very best way to find out what your S A7 can do, and also cannot do, is to set one up right from the beginning with the input and out put conne ctions most practical for your uses.
SA7—10 FINAL NOTES A BOUT BRO A DBAND PRE- A MPS Yes, the Ramsey SA7 or PR2 RF pre- amp will give that prom ised boost to the signal st rength of that distant FM broadcast station that your wife, sist er or dad wants to tune in without so much static.
SA7—11 BROADBAND "ACTIVE A NTENN A" For situations where a shor t or indoor receiving antenna is nee ded, the SA7 preamp will give considerably improved performance even if the antenna is little more th an a collapsible whip or sh ort length of wire.

SA7—13 WA R N I N G : Under no circumstances should transmitter power be applied to the SA7. Although this seems common-sense, most receivers are in transceiver configuration and one slip of the mike key will blast your little SA7 to La-La Land.
