Required Test Equipment

The following test equipment (and thorough familiarity with its correct use) is necessary for

complete realignment. Correction of problems caused by misalignment resulting from use of

improper test equipment is not covered under the warranty policy. While most steps do not

require all of the equipment listed, the interactions of some adjustments may require that

more complex adjustments be performed afterwards. Do not attempt to perform only a

single step unless it is clearly isolated electrically from all other steps. Have all test

equipment ready before beginning, and follow all of the steps in a section in the order

presented.

Alignment Preparation & Precautions

A dummy load and inline wattmeter must be connected to the main antenna jack in all

procedures that call for transmission, except where specified otherwise. Correct alignment is

not possible with an antenna. After completing one step, read the following step to

determine whether the same test equipment will be required. If not, remove the test

equipment (except dummy load and wattmeter, if connected) before proceeding.

Correct alignment requires that the ambient temperature in the repair shop be the same as

that of the transceiver and test equipment, and that this temperature be held constant

between 20 °C and 30 °C (68 °C to 86 °F). When the transceiver is brought into the shop

from hot or cold air it should be allowed some time for thermal equalization with the

environment before alignment. If possible, alignments should be made with oscillator shields
