By type, the board carries 4 capacitors, 2 transistors, 1 inductor and 1 resistor.

It belongs with the audio designs in this gallery.

From the project

RF "Lego" blocks. Quite-Linear HF broadband RF amplifier experiments for higher bands.

The Finals-RD15.kicadpcb` is oversized on purpose for two reasons:

- To avoid the tedious job of cutting the larger 3x2 PCB into a smaller size.

- To save etchant by putting a copper pour over the larger area.
