10.7 MHZ IF Output

The buffered 10.7 MHz IF Output is available at the emitter of transistor Q85. Q85 is located close to the edge of the large board, near J1. If you place the radio with the antenna connection to the left, Q85 is the first transistor to the right of the smaller IF filter at the top lefthand corner of the RF board. This is directly above the metal can for one of the LO's. The emitter is the upper left terminal (if the radio is oriented as described above). There will be a DC level at this point, so will want a coupling capacitor. (Thanks to gr8amp in the forums)
