INITIAL
POWER ON
Turn
power
on with the AF
control
and
advance the control until
background
noise is heard.
Peak
the
PRESELECTOR within the band
range for maximum noise.
Connect
an
antenna to
the transceiver
and
adjust
the
main
tuning
for
a
signal
on the
band.
The
trans-
ceiver
is
now
fully
operational
for receiving
signals.
Although the
PRESELECT0R
is normally
adjusted for maxinum
signal
(noise
if
no
signal is
present),
it can also be used to reduce
interfering
signal
splatter
from very strong
nearby
stations by
slightly
de-tuning the control
from maximum.
With
practice,
this
technique can be
used very
effectively.
It
should
be
noted that
the
"S'i
meter will
not
be
accurately calibrated
during the de-tuning
of the control..
This
de-tuning
process
will
have no effect on the
transnitter.
CAL I BRATION
Adjust the
main
tuning
controL
to
the
nearest 25
KHz,50 KHz or
100
KHz
increment
on
the dial. Switch
the crystal calibrator
to
CAL and adjust
the DIAL SET control
for a zero beat signal
nearest
the
DIAL
SET cal-ibration
nark on
the front
paneL.
It
shouLd
be
noted
that
on L0 meters
it
will
be
possible
to
find two or
more
calibration signals
as
the
DIAL SET- control
is
rotated.
The 25
KHz and 75
KHz
signals
are
about
one
ttS"
unit less than
the 50
KHz
and 100 KHz signaLs.
When caLibrating
on 10
meters
nake
a check
using the
"S'r
neter
On
the adjacent
25 KHz
point
to
verify that
the
correct
setting has been
made.
WW\T
RECEPTION
From
time to
time it
may be
desired to check
the
accuracy
of the
internal
crystal
calibrator
against
iln{ry. The
following tuning
pro-
cedures
can be followed
for tuning in
WhrV at
either
10 MHz or
15
MHz.
Set the
BAND
switch
to
2I,
the
main tuni.ng
dial to
zero
and
adjust the
PRESELECT0R
for maximum signal
at the 3.5'position.
Minor
retuning
of
the
nain
tuning
dial wiLl bring in
WWV.
Set the
BAND
switch
to
3.5,
the
main tuning
dial
to
4.0 MHz
and
adjust the PRESELECTOR
for
maximum signal
at
the 28
position.
Minor
retuning
of
the
main tuning
dial
will bring
in
W}fV.
