GX1100S Alignment 

The GX1100S/E has been carefully aligned at the factory for the specified performance 
across the marine band. 
Realignment should therefore not be necessary except in the event of a component 
failure. All component replacement and service should be performed only by an 
authorized Standard Horizon representative, or the warranty policy may be voided.   
The following procedures cover the sometimes critical and tedious adjustments that are 
not normally required once the transceiver has left the factory. However, if damage 
occurs and some parts are replaced, realignment may be required. If a sudden problem 
occurs during normal operation, it is likely due to component failure; realignment 
should not be done until after the faulty component has been replaced. 
We recommend that servicing be performed only by authorized Standard Horizon 
service technicians who are experienced with the circuitry and fully equipped for repair 
and alignment. Therefore, if a fault is suspected, contact the dealer from whom the 
transceiver was purchased for instructions regarding repair. Authorized Standard 
Horizon service technicians realign all circuits and make complete performance checks 
to ensure compliance with factory specifications after replacing any faulty components.   
Those who do undertake any of the following alignments are cautioned to proceed at 
their own risk. Problems caused by unauthorized attempts at realignment are not 
covered by the warranty policy. Also, Standard Horizon, a division of Vertex Standard 
must reserve the right to change circuits and alignment procedures in the interest of 
improved performance, without notifying owners. Under no circumstances should any 
alignment be attempted unless the normal function and operation of the transceiver are 
clearly understood, the cause of the malfunction has been clearly pinpointed and any 
faulty components replaced, and the need for realignment determined to be absolutely 
necessary. 
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.
