The Sienna family of receivers/
transceivers represents a revolu-
tion in amateur radio. Now you
can start with a relatively inex-
pensive remote-control-only re-
ceiver, using a PC to control it
using your favorite software, and
then add a front panel, transmit-
ter, tuner and amplifier, as well
as numerous F filters, as your
desires or budget allow. Or you
can start with any combination of
modules to create just the right
radio for your needs.
The time-tested triple-conversion
receiver design assures general
coverage receive with no dead
spots and excellent image rejec-
tion. t also has very good dy-
namic range by virtue of a 5KHz
roofing filter at the 70.455MHz
first F, and compatibility with
a wide variety of high perfor-
mance crystal filters and Collins
mechanical filters at the 2nd and
third F’s to provide excellent
selectivity. We’ve also added in-
novations in AGC control, band-
pass filtering with GaAsFET
switches instead of P N diodes,
and the ability to run full-
duplex and cross-band at HF fre-
quencies.
Sienna transceivers are also a
study in duality: dual preamps,
dual keying (manual and paddle
inputs available at the same time
on both the front and back pan-
el), dual audio (headphones and
speakers available at the same
time), dual receive (front panel
access to the audio from an ex-
ternal secondary receiver), and
dual backlit analog meters, which
give the rig a nice glow that
harkens back to the early days of
radio when all radios glowed. Du-
al microprocessors are in total
control of the radio.
The Sienna can be built in sever-
al stages and in several combina-
tions. This manual is thus a com-
plete assembly manual for the
fully loaded Sienna. As you up-
grade your Sienna, you can still
use this one manual as a complete
assembly reference.
Thanks for trusting in DZKit to
provide not only unique electron-
ic products, but to give you
hours of building fun too.

1. Most screws in this kit are
Phillips Panhead Machine
Screws. For simplicity, we
refer to them simply as
“screws” unless a different
style is used. These may be
stainless steel or zinc-
plated steel.
2. Almost all sheet metal parts
are attached to each other
using 6-32 x 1/4” screws that
are inserted into captive
fasteners that have been
pressed into the sheet metal.
These screws have a locking
compound on them to keep them
from vibrating loose.
3. Most PC boards attach to the
sheet metal using 6-32 x 1/4"
screws with attached lock-
washers (“SEMS” screws) but
there are some exceptions,
which are explained in the
steps.
4. As you tighten a screw, it is
very important that you do
not strip the threads. All
screws should fasten smooth-
ly. f a screw appears to be
very hard to fasten, some-
thing else is probably wrong—
a cable could be in the way,
you are trying to use the
wrong size screw or something
else is wrong. DO NOT FORCE
SCREWS! nstead, inspect the
assembly carefully and try to
see why you are having diffi-
culty. Screws with locking
compound on them are normally
a little harder to fasten.
5. A PC within arms reach of
your workbench is useful in
helping you locate the parts
on the boards. Shipped with
your kit is a USB flash drive
containing the PCB layout
files for all boards (without
traces). To find the location
of a part, simply install and
run the “ExpressPCB” program
(free download from
www.expresspcb.com) and open
the board you wish to work
on. Press “Ctrl-F” to find a
part, and then enter it in
the box that pops up (e.g.,
“R1”, without the quotes).
The program will show you ex-
actly where that part is lo-
cated. Take a few minutes to
familiarize yourself with
this program before beginning
construction. You can also
find parts manually by just
looking for the part on the
silkscreen, but on the denser
boards, this can take a long
time. We highly recommend us-
ing ExpressPCB to locate
parts.
6. There are three large sheet
metal brackets. Two are iden-
tical and are placed opposite
each other lengthwise from
front to back. These brackets
are referred to as "large
bracket LR" (for Left/Right).
The other large bracket runs
from side to side in the
front, attaching to the other
brackets. t is called the
General Assembly Notes
Page 7
Most kit builders find it helpful to sepa-
rate the parts into categories for quick
identification. Muffin tins and egg car-
tons serve this purpose admirably.
"front bracket".
7. All references to left and
right, front and back are with
the chassis in an orientation
such that the front of the ra-
dio faces you. The large open-
ings on the bottom of the
chassis are to the right, with
the folded sides pointed up.
8. Each circuit part has its own
component number (R1, L4, Q3,
etc.). R1 on one assembly will
not be the same as R1 on a
different assembly, so be sure
you are looking at the right
set of parts when comparing
part numbers with the printed
parts list. Check off each
part at the beginning of each
section to make sure all the
parts are there. f you find
any missing, give us a call or
email us and we will rush a
replacement to you.
9. Most electronic kits that are
returned for service have poor
soldering jobs. Please take a
moment to familiarize yourself
with proper soldering tech-
nique. And do not, under ANY
circumstances, use corrosive
(“acid-core”) solder! That
will void your warranty and
render your kit inoperative.
Also be sure to avoid the use
of products that may be called
solder but are really glue
(e.g., LePage's Liquid Solder,
nothing more than metallic-
grey colored airplane glue).
10.Soldering should only be done
in an area with good ventila-
tion and with a properly heat-
ed soldering iron.
11.Resistors are identified by
their values in Ohms, Kilohms
(K) or Megohms (M) and by col-
or codes. Your kit uses resis-
tors of several types. Axial
leaded resistors have color
coded bands on them. For 5%
resistors, the first two bands
represent the numeric value
and the third band represents
a multiplier, which is a power
of 10. Thus, a 56 Ohm resistor
is Green-Blue-Black. A 10KOhm
resistor is Brown-Black-
Orange, and so on. The fourth
band is the tolerance — no
band represents 20%, a silver
band 10%, and a gold band 5%.
Your Sienna uses mostly one
percent or better resistors,
which have 4 bands for the
value. A 4.75K resistor is
Yellow-Violet-Green-Brown. We
have placed resistors of given
types in individual bags for
you, but should they get mixed
and you have trouble reading
the color code, we recommend
an inexpensive volt-ohmmeter
be used to check the values. A
fluorescent light is also use-
ful to “bring out” the colors,
Page 8
and a magnifying glass is also
handy.
12.Capacitors are identified by
their type — disk, polysty-
rene, polypropylene, electro-
lytic, trimmer, etc.) and ca-
pacitance values are in micro-
farads (uF) or picoFarads
(pF). Polarized types have the
positive pin marked on the
silkscreen and also have a
square pad.
13. nductors are represented ei-
ther by their inductance in
nanoHenries (nH), microHenries
(uH), milliHenries (mH) or by
the number of turns in the
coil if you are doing the
winding.
14.Diodes are marked with a band
on the cathode end. The PC
boards have a bar silkscreened
across one side of the compo-
nent outline and a square pad
which identifies the cathode.
15.Transistors have either a tab
or a flat side that you can
match to the silkscreened com-
ponent outline. Most transis-
tors will need to have their
leads “sprung” a little to fit
in the holes. Do so carefully
to avoid breaking the leads
off.
16. Cs have a notch, beveled side
and/or a dot representing the
side containing pin 1. When
you hold an C with the notch
or the beveled side up, pin 1
is in the upper left corner.
The silkscreened outlines on
the board all have notches and
pin 1 also has a square pad.
It is CRITICAL that you mount po-
larized parts correctly! Double
check your work to be sure that
all such parts match the photos.

A word about what lies ahead…
This manual is designed to allow you to build confidence in your kit-
building ability as you go along. You start by building the DC power
distribution circuitry, which is the simplest of all the circuitry.
You then install this board in the chassis. You will then be able to
turn on the power and measure some voltages. This will give you confi-
dence that the kit-building is progressing normally. You will also be
able to use a PC to help you locate parts on the boards using the PCB
layout files that we have included. The project continues with build-
ing of the RS-232 interface and front panel circuit board (if you pur-
chased a front panel) and integration with the pre-assembled control-
ler board. At that point, you will be able to experiment with the
front panel controls and/or the remote control functions. Once all
that works, you will build and install the receiver’s F and bandpass
filter boards. Next you will finish building the partially pre-
assembled receiver. At this point, you will be able to test and align
the receiver and use the built-in keyer. f you purchased the base Si-
enna model, which is a receiver, you’re done! Otherwise, you might
want to take a break and spend a few hours using the receiver before
continuing! Next, you will install the assembled and tested transmit-
ter and build the 100W amplifier (if purchased). These boards are the
most complex, which is why they have been saved for last. But once you
get to them, you will have great confidence that you have built the
radio correctly to that point. So let’s get started!
NOTE: If you would prefer to build all the boards first, you may go
directly to the Appendices and do so
Page 10
The steps involved in building a kit are listed below. Be sure to fol-
low them and you will have a lot of fun building, aligning, testing
and using your kit.
1. Do a parts inventory. At each major section and in the Appendices,
there’s a list of parts used in that section (or that will be used
shortly). Check off each part to be sure you are not missing any-
thing. Our method of bagging parts is different from all other kit
vendors and will make the task much faster and less error prone.
But despite our valiant efforts, mistakes can happen. f you are
missing any parts, call or email us and we’ll rush replacements to
you immediately.
2. Do not remove parts from the bags until called for, to avoid mixing
parts up (especially resistors).
3. Pay attention to soldering techniques. Keep your soldering iron
clean by using a wet sponge, use appropriate heat and maintain heat
long enough to make good solder joints. Solder problems are the
number one cause of problems when building electronic products (not
just kits!), so try extra hard to do it right.
4. ome boards have been pre-loaded with surface mount parts. Be care-
ful not to flex these boards to avoid having parts snap off.
5. Take your time! We know you want to get it done and start using it,
but doing it wrong will only delay that moment. Before you start,
set up a ventilated, static-free work area with enough room to
build the kit. Prepare parts bins and get the tools you will need
(needle-nose pliers, wire-cutter, wire stripper, Phillips head
screw drivers, wrenches, soldering iron, solder, insulated tool,
awl or other sharp-ended tool, scissors, magnifying glass, etc.) f
you’re tired, take a break. Enjoy building your kit!
6. Make sure that you are loading the part that’s called for in the
right holes. Once loaded, it can be hard to find a misloaded part.
Be especially careful to load polarized parts ( Cs, diodes, elec-
trolytic capacitors) the right direction. f you are not sure about
any step, call or email us!
7. Once you’ve done a step, put a checkmark inside the parentheses.
This helps you remember where you left off when you build in stag-
es.
8. After you have assembled a circuit board, take a moment (just one)
to marvel at your handiwork, then spend a few more minutes critiqu-
ing it! Check for solder bridges, unsoldered or insufficiently sol-
dered connections, solder blobs (especially on insulated magnet
wire used on toroids), loose screws and electronic parts, reversed
polarized components, etc. Sometimes it helps to have a friend
check your work.
