Adjust V-Gain Volume to obtain a 2 cm amplitude
of 0.3V p-p AM FM Radio IF Genescope cali-
bration voltage on screen and set Genescope
Cutput to 50 dB.
Connect Genescope Output to point (1) (FM IF
Input), and Genescope Input to point (8) (AF
Output).
Set Mode Switch to “FM” and set dial to about
109 MHz reception frequency.
Adjust the upper core of IFT “L,” of FM IF
Amp. P.C. Board so that the S Curve output
voltage is maximum. Also adjust the lower core to
obtain optimum S Curve linearity.
In making this adjustment, in some cases the rank
of the ceramic filter causes a discrepancy in the S
Curve Marker Point, but it is satisfactory if
through adjustment a margin of within +500 Hz
can be obtained (See Fig. 3).

Adjust V-Gain Volume to obtain a 2 cm amplitude
of 0.3V p-p AM FM Radio IF Genescope cali-
bration voltage on screen, and set Genescope
Output to 90 dB.
Connect Genescope Output to 3002 impedance
FM Antenna Terminal, and Genescope Input to
Terminal (8) (AF Output) of FM IF P.C. Board.
Set Mode Switch to “FM” and set the tuning
indicator to the right end of the dial.
Adjust the upper core of IF Adjustment Core in
front end so that the value of the S Curve wave
height is maximum. Then adjust the lower core so
that the noise element is maximum and the upper
and lower reaches of the scanning line are the same
level (See Figs. 4, 5 and 7).
