In summary: the alignment tools built into the radio consist of a signal generator which injects a
signal into the RF front end, and digital signal processing which adds a 250-Hz digital filter to the
existing 200Hz analogue filter, and calculates the amplitude of the signal detected in that
bandwidth. During alignment, the amplitude is displayed on-screen as an intuitive bar across the
bottom row of the display. Using a screwdriver, you adjust the trimmer component in order to
maximise or minimise the displayed amplitude.
Unplug the antenna during alignment of the radio!
First adjust the band-pass trimmer capacitor C1. To do this, give one long press to the left button.
The screen now displays the first menu category:
1 Preset
Turn the rotary encoder until you see the alignment menu:
8 Alignment
Now press the left (
“select”) button, to enter the alignment menu. For example, for 17m operation,
the alignment frequency menu item should already be set to a frequency in the CW section of
17m, as follows:
8.1 Align frq
18,120,020
Now turn the rotary encoder until you see:
8.7 Peak BPF
Press Select!
Do as it says!
But if you have earphones plugged in, please take them out of your ears first.
The tone will be very loud. Press the
left (“select”) button to switch on the signal generator so you
can adjust the C1 trimmer potentiometer. Now if you have earphones plugged in (and lying
hopefully, on your bench), you will hear a loud tone at 700Hz. The display will look like this
