Preliminary checks and adjustments
1. Connect signal generator to RX antenna jack
on channel frequency
2. Crystal Frequency = Operating frequency -
10.7 / 27
3. Oscillator Measurements are made on the Red
test points, connect negative lead of volt meter to ground
4. If PPL-6060 needs complete alignment, preset
L111 through L117 as far out of the cavity as they will go
| Step | Test Point | Tuning Control | Meter Reading | Procedure |
| 1 | TP201 | T202, T203, L206 | Maximum | Tune T202,T203 and L206 for Maximum meter reading. Repeat this step for Maximum reading |
| 2 | TP201 | L116, L117 | See Procedure | Tune L116 for Maximum reading then adjust L117
for a dip.
These readings are small so watch carefully. |
| 3 | Antenna Jack | C213 | See Procedure | Set service monitor or Hand held for Operating Frequency - 10.7MHz . Tune C213 for the proper injection frequency |
| 4 | TP202 | L115, L114, L111, L112, L113 | See Procedure | Apply an on-frequency signal to the antenna jack. Tune L115, L114, L111, L112, and L113 for maximum meter reading. Reduce signal generator output to keep TP202 below 1 volt. |
| 5 | TP202 | L209, T205 | Maximum | Apply an on-frequency signal to the antenna jack. Tune L209 and T205 for Maximum meter reading.Again, Reduce signal generator output to keep TP202 below 1 volt |
| 6 | TP202 | Maximum | Repeat step 4 and 5 to ensure Maximum front end sensitivity. | |
| 7 | Speaker Output | T206 | See Procedure | Apply 100uV signal with 1 kHz modulation at 3.0kHz deviation, Tune T206 for Maximum non distorted audio output as seen on a oscilloscope.Adjust volume to prevent audio clipping. |
