Low Band Elec Atten Path System Gain 
Algorithm
Aligns low band with electronic attenuator in the signal 
path and set to 0 dB.
(Option EA3)
A13 Front End 50 MHz calibrator on A16 
Reference.
A9 and A10 Input attenuators 
Preselector Two Point Tuning Algorithm
Aligns the YTF preselector centering near the maximum 
and minimum frequency points of the YTF.
Uses the high band preamp noise as stimulus signal.

Burst Carrier Trigger Curve Fit Algorithm
Detects the level of the signal envelope before filtering 
at the 22.5 MHz IF, and compares that detected level 
against the trigger threshold DC level.
