I just got my kit too!
Not the greatest instructions are they? And, it appears the schematic is
not quite correct on the original board---but I digress
The center of the coax goes to the used to be capacitor pad farther from the
rear edge of the board. The routing is to the micro and the divider circuit
The shield of the coax goes to ground altho they do not say where. I am
using an adjacent long resistor leg that is to ground
Also, I am inclined to add a ground wire to the vacant pin of the two pin
connector of the TCXO board so it doesn't rely on the signal coax shield and
mechanical connection to ground
Pity seems to me they didn't invest 15 minutes of engineering to make this
board plug in to the logic board by a few well placed pins in the connection
points
My crystal oven burned to crisp and shorted the 12v to ground. How did
yours fail, or just upgrading?

Subject: [TenTec] TCXO install
Hi all,
New to the list. Just about to install the TCXO kit in the Omni 6 but the
instructions seem a bit unclear.
It says to remove the cap(I assume this is C10) and connect the coax. What
they failed to mention was where
the two leads get connected(center and shield). I could take out the whole
board to trace it out but I thought
I would ask here and save myself a lot of work.
Thanks in advance
Don
