7 Adjustments
7.1 Introduction
Preset adjustments, which are normally factory-set, will require attention
only if components that affect their settings are replaced. The X-2
Transceiver is provided with a special Test Mode, detailed in Section 7.5, to
assist in alignment and checks of filters, local oscillators and channel
frequencies.
7.2 Test Equipment Required
• Oscilloscope 50 MHz, complete with a 10X probe with a 10 MΩ and
less than 15 pF input impedance.
• RF Dummy Load 50Ω and Power Meter rated at 100 W RMS
minimum.
• RF Signal Generator covering the range of 400 kHz to 18 MHz.
Calibrated output signals from 10 millivolt to 0.5 µV from a source
impedance of 50 Ω.
• Frequency Counter 50 MHz with a resolution of 1 Hz.
• Regulated Power Supply of 13.6 V ± 0.2 V at 20 A peak.
• Two tone Audio Generator operating at 700 Hz and 2300 Hz complete
with 3 dB balance control and adjustable output 0-100 mV RMS.
• Digital Multimeter 10 MΩ input impedance.
• Transceiver Test Unit to Codan drawing 04-01868.
Note: The microphone isolating transformer should be fitted with a
mu-metal screen to prevent mains 50 Hz pickup.
• Resistance Box fitted with E12 series resistor range 10 Ω to 1 MΩ
assists in the selection of the SOT resistors.
• Spectrum Analyser for intermodulation measurements if required.
7.3 Voltage Regulators
None of the voltage regulators are adjustable. Only the output voltages can
be checked at the following locations:
