I almost finished the SW+40 PCB tonight. I am missing R24, the 500 Ohm variable resistor, and I want to change the values of some resistors and capacitor. The next step now is to order those parts and build the digital frequency display, which should arrive soon...
Note that I did not use the IC sockets, which for 8-pin ICs I think is a liability I don't need. I have not found out yet if the crystal cases should be grounded, as this is not specified in the manual, but there is a ground pad for it.. The build was very easy and straight forward.
