5-8 HF SSB Transceiver 9323/9360/9390/9780 Technical Service Manual
Observe the following:
• Take care to align the thermistor R34 and transistor V19 in their appropriate
hole locations in the heatsink.
• Check the mica washer is under the transistor V20.
• Ensure the screws that were removed when the PCB was being disassembled,
are installed in their correct locations.
• The screws should not be tightened until all the assembly is complete. The
screws that secure the PA transistors should be tightened last to avoid straining
the connections.
