If this check is performed successfully, it is not necessary
to perform
sec. 1.3 step 1-1 1. It should be stressed not
to turn factory sealed parts.
1.
Set TR-7400A to 146.00 MHz simplex.
2.
Adjust VR1 on VCO to measure 9.00V at 9V terminal.
3. Adjust
TC1 inside metal box on VCO to read 5.00V
at CV terminal.
4. Check for 2.560000 MHz +20 Hz at TP1 on PLL
board adjust
TC1 if necessary (must use 33 pF cap at
TP1).
5. Measure frequency at LR terminal on VCO. Adjust
TC3 for 135.3000 MHz

135.3050MHz
f
100Hz with 5kIOcontrol in 5k position.
6.
To set TX final frequency TX and adjust L3 on TX
board for final frequency.
1.3 Adjustment The VCO Unit (X50-1370-10)
(1) Set the frequency to 146.000 MHz. Set the other
controls at any positions.
(2) Adjust the DC voltage across the 9-V terminal to 9 V
(8.8
-
9.2V) with VR1.
