1. Remove the instrument dress cover (MP24) and the top brace (MP10).
Refer to Chapter 18, “Assembly Replacement Procedures” for instructions
on removing these covers.
2. Referring to Figure 5-4, remove W2 from A21 RF Preselector Input
assembly.

5. Switch the instrument input to RF Input 2 by pressing Input / Output, RF
Input, RF Input Port, RF Input 2.
6. Verify that the RF Calibrator signal is turned off by pressing Input /
Output, RF Calibrator, Off.
7. Measure the DC voltages on pins 11 through 20 on P600 of the A21 RF
Preselector Input assembly, as shown in Figure 5-6, and verify that they
are what is expected for the RF Calibrator Off as shown in Table 5-4.
If the voltage levels are incorrect the most likely cause of the problem is
the A21 RF Preselector Input assembly itself.
