Ubitx v4 Modification PT1


Ok so I have been on to the web and found that the v4 needs some modification to the board.

I found the relays and they have arrived in a week from a uk seller

I have tracked down the inductors from Poland but the seller is away so I’m unable to order them at this time.

So I need to change all 5 of the relays on the board, the 1st task is the hardest desordering the pins of the relay from the board.

It’s difficult to remove them I found using a small amount of new solder, some flux and solder iron to get the old solder to flow again and use a solder sucker to remove the melted solder careful not to overheat the board and damage the tracks that you will need to solder the new relays back to.

I removed all five of the relays at once then soldered the new one’s in, take care the relays are soldered flush to the board.
