In Rus's excellent instructions one paragraph confused me:

3) Locate C74, a 560-pF ceramic disc capacitor, near the right-rear corner of the radio's main PC board. This is the interstage coupling capacitor, and it's a good place to pick off about 40 mW (+16 dBm) of transmitter power. Lift C74 from the circuit. At its output side (after Q501), on the trace side of the PC board, solder the center conductor of a piece of small coax, such as RG-188 or RG-174. This leaves the capacitor in the circuit, which provides dc blocking for the low-level output. Solder the coax shield to the PC board ground foil nearby.

I stared at the board and reread the instructions, wondering how I could follow them...

• If I lifted one lead of C74 and connected the center conductor to it, I wouldn't be on the trace side of the board and I'd have no ground foil nearby.
• If I lifted one lead of C74 and connected the center conductor to the vacated pad on the trace side, C74 would be left out of the circuit.
• If I left C74 in place and connected the center conductor to its pad, the capacitor wouldn't be lifted.
• Also, C74 runs between Q501 and L25. It has no direct connection to ground.
