Preliminary checks and adjustments;

1. Connect signal generator to RX antenna jack on channel frequency.
2. Crystal Frequency = Operating frequency - 11.2 / 9 For low side injection.
3. Crystal Frequency = Operating frequency + 11.2 / 9 For high side injection.
4. Oscillator Measurements are made via black meter plug on IF Board, connect negative lead of volt meter to ground.
5. Check for +10 volts DC on pin 5 of the black plug.
 
 

Step	Test Point	Tuning Control	Meter Reading	Procedure
1	Pin 3 (Mult-1)	C406	Maximum	Tune C406 for Maximum meter reading
2		C411, C416, C306, C307	See Procedure	Preset C411 and C416 to a position similar to C406, Preset C306 & C307 fully counter clockwise
3	Pin 4 (Mult-2)	C411, C416, C406	See Procedure	Tune C411 & C416 for Maximum meter reading, Retune C406, C411 and C416 for Maximum meter reading, Then dip C306 and tune C307. DO NOT READJUST C306 & C307
4	Pin 1 (IF AMP)	C502, C301 through C305	Maximum	Apply an on-frequency signal to the antenna jack, Keep signal below saturation. Tune C502 then C301 - C305 for maximum meter reading
5	Pin 1 (IF AMP)	C502, C301 through C307	Maximum	Apply an on-frequency signal to the antenna jack, Retune C301 - C305 and C502 for best quieting sensitivity C306 & C307 may also be turned slightly (No more than 1/4 of a turn)
6	Pin 2 (FM Det)	L603	0.38 Volt	With no signal applied, adjust L603 for a reading of 0.38 Volt
7	P903-1(Vol/Sq HI)	L603, R608	See Procedure	Apply 1000uV signal with 1kHz modulation at 3.0kHz deviation, Tune L603 for Maximum reading then adjust R608 for 1 volt AC RMS
