Re:YCCC SO2R BOX PLUS - 2010/10/22 18:31
Ok, YCCC SO2R Plus box just arrived last nite after can you beleive 3 weeks in custom... ouch...
Here are some fist comments...
- Everything came in very well packed 
- parts were seperated in 6 seperated bags all stuffed inside the case and a full check list was included specific to my order and my call sign...
- The BOX is well made... it is larger then I expected about the same syze of a Rigblaster Pro or Duo...
- PCB is of great quality...
- SO2R Box Plus Team made a mistake in this version of PCB  requesting pin hiles instead of slotted holes for power and PTT connectors, kit builders spotted this fast and problem was confirmed by YCC group... fix aint easy , had to fix pcb and do some small rewrote (minor)
- - At first it looks like parts were missing because the units are offered in 2 or 4 radio kits and the extra parts for the 4 radio kits are in a seperate bag  ... so all parts are well labeled and all present... parts are of very good quality, specialy connectors, pots and switches...
- everything is there and I mean everything... it is a well designed kit and very well prepared...
- assembly is a mid to mid/hign difficulty, even dough all smd (3) are preinstalled, this kit does have lots of parts and you have to take your time the high quality of the pcb does help a lot...
- the PCB is also very well designed all parts are very well ided and even resistor values are on the pcb making kit assemble a lot faster...
ok! so I got lots and lots more soldering ahead of me... and with these bad eyes... I have to tripple check everything not to screew anything up...
stay tuned...
