    Gonzalo Rodriguez
    This document provides instructions for aligning various components of a receiver, including the clock, VCO, local oscillator, IF stages, RF stages, and noise blanker. The alignment process involves connecting various test instruments such as frequency counters, signal generators, and oscilloscopes to specified test points on the receiver and adjusting trimmer capacitors and inductors to achieve desired results observed on the test instruments. Proper instrument connections and control settings are outlined for each alignment procedure.

    ALIGNMENT AND ADJUSTMENT

    ALIGNMENT AND TEST POINT LOCATIONS

    ALIGNMENT PREPARATION
    Test Equipments Required
    Quarz sensor (32.768 kHz)

    Frequency counter

    AC SSVM

    AM signal generator

    DC SSVM

    Pulse generator

    Notes:

    Use non-metalic tuning tools.

    The test equipment and receiver should be warmed up for at least 10 minutes before proceeding with alignment.

    The signal level from the generator should be kept as low as possible to obtain an usable output.

    Before alignment, program test frequencies as follows:


    1. Press and hold 1 and ENT key then press POWER key to turn on the LCD.
    2. LCD displays all segments.
    3. Press POWER key again to turn on the receiver.
