scale is displayed indicating the minimum, maximum, and current
value of the softpot setting, as shown below:
Adjusting the softpot value sends information to the radio to increase
or decrease a DC voltage in the corresponding circuit. In all cases, the
softpot value is just a relative number, corresponding to a D/A (digital-
to-analog) generated voltage or digitally-controlled frequency in the
radio. All standard measurement procedures and test equipment are
applicable and are NOT affected in any way.

Caution
Transmitter, Receiver and Signalling Alignment
procedures should only be attempted by qualified
service personnel. Failure to perform alignment
procedures properly may result in a seriously degraded
radio or system performance. Refer to your Radio
Service Manual for detailed service procedures.
