As I mentioned last month, the build process for the DZKit Saguaro SR-74 receiver kit takes about 12 hours. Upon finishing the kit, there were a few firmware upgrades that improved the AGC performance and the sound quality. I have found this kit to be a great way to simplify using what is one of the most popular SDR receivers, the SDRPlay. Using a Raspberry Pi 4 as the user interface makes this a nice way to enjoy SDR.
During assembly, I had to deal with many multiple pin-type connectors. I have found a method to speed that process up which I will discuss
