capacitance values sma llr than 1 a re in microfarads (µF) : capacitance values greater
than 1 are in picofarads (pF); inductors are in microhenries (µH).
2 . Printed circuit board components a re ou t1i ned on the schema tics by dotted lines. The
c i rcled numbers on the dotted lines correspond to the numbers on the PC board layouts.
3. The heavy li nes on the schema tics denote the pr ima ry signal path.
4. The terminal number ing of rotary switches is for reference only.
5. All voltages i nd i cated on the schemat i cs a re measu red under the fo11owi ng cond i t i ons;
a. Use of an 11 megohm impedance VTVM.
b. All voltages ± 10% with respect to chassis ground.
