2. VFO Cal (set for desired CW band segment)
3. Rx BPF (tune for maximum sensitivity)
4. Tx Offset (set for 600-Hz sidetone pitch)
5. Power (set for onset of gain compression)

Alignment Control Function
Important Note:
If you lack the necessary test equipment and skills to make
these adjustments, seek assistance from a qualified technician. Misalignment
will degrade transceiver performance and may also result in spurious out-of-band
operation in violation of FCC rules. MFJ
cannot
be held responsible for
transceiver misalignment in the field.
Voltage Chart:
Voltage charts are useful for diagnosing circuit problems and
isolating component failures. Any voltage variation of 10% or more
may
indicate a problem.
Important Note:
Exercise caution when testing SMD circuitry with conventional
bench probes. If the voltmeter probe shorts to adjacent pins during the
measurement, component damage may result. If you lack the tools and training
to troubleshoot SMD circuitry, seek assistance.
