STATIC MEASUREMENTS

Figure 14

With the power turned OFF, connect the VOM to test
point three (TP3) as shown in Figure 14.
Check that the VOM is adjusted to read 9 volts DC
and turn the power ON. The voltmeter should read
approximately 1.5 volts DC. If your reading varies

more than .5 volts from this value, turn the power
OFF and check the polarity of D1, and resistors R11
and R5. Also check that transformer T1 is properly
installed.

AGC ZERO SIGNAL BIAS

With the power turned OFF, connect the positive lead
of the VOM to TP5 and the negative lead to any
ground. Make sure that the VOM is set to read 9
volts DC and turn the power ON. The voltage on the

VOM should be the same as your battery voltage or
power supply voltage. If not, turn OFF the power and
check that T3 is properly installed.

T3 TEST

If you do not have an RF generator, go to Section 3.
