I'd say get rid of that piece of junk and get the Tentec 2 meter radio kit,
I built the 6 meter version and it went together like a charm.

The ten-tec kits look way better but I've never built one myself...

Someone here locally had the Ramsey 440 kit, and after building it and
finding that it wouldn't work found out that the design was flawed from the
start and it could never work.

But I did build and test an FX-440. It can work but not very
well. If you ever hear one on the air, listen to how higher the
background noise on the modulation is, the result of using a fairly
noisy op-amp audio chain to directly modulate a VCO with a
sensitivity of like 10MHz/1V... It's no better than a toy.

Good luck.
