Philips FM92E, Manual

I will assume if you have a SINADDER that you can use it else use the ear method.
EAR METHOD OF TUNING A RADIO
1. Apply enough signal to open the set up (this may be a few volts if the set is really 'deaf')
2. Wind back the level until you can just hear the tone above the hash.
3. Adjust the tuning slugs until the tone is loud and clear.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the level is less than 1 microvolt.
5. Turn the signal right off, make sure the mute is at minimum (anticlockwise) then slowly wind up the
signal until the set opens. If the level to make it open is anything less than .5uV well done. If its less
than .3uV go and buy a lottery ticket. If not repeat steps 2 to 5 until it does.
PA adjustment
Open up the lid on the PA stage (other side of the radio) and adjust R102 ( the only pot in the PA) for maximum
power.
Key the radio and adjust C111 and C124 for maximum power. Check the supply current is less than 6.5Amps.
What you want is maximum power for least current.
If you have a deviation meter, connect it and speaking very loudly into the microphone (counting to 10) adjust
R367 for a maximum of 5khz.
If you have a channel programmed as low power, the adjustment is R403
