General Alignment Procedure for the TS-820(s)

 

 

Author:

 Trio-Kenwood Communication, inc.

 

 

Service bulletin no. 30 (14-3-1978) 

The purpose of this bulletin is to give a simplified alignment procedure for the TS-820 
and TS-820S transceivers. We have tried to combine some of the step and rearranged 
the sequence of step so the alignment may be done quicker. This may be used in lieu of 
the alignment procedure in the Service Manual.  

1.

 

Adjustment, A.V.R. unit (X49-1080-00) 

a.

 

Adjust VR1 for 3.3V  

b.

 

Adjust VR4 for 9V.  

 

2.

 

Adjustment, V.C.O unit (X50-1330-00) 

a.

 

PLace ST to TONE and connect a frequency counter tp TP5.  

b.

 

Adjust T1-T11 for proper frequency. (See table) 
 

Note from www.mods.dk:

 I'm not sure about the data in the table are 

correct, because the drawing i read from was very bad. Have you a better 
drawing, or can you verify that the frequency are correct then pleaseto me.
