6SA7 first det., and the Voltmeter to Terminal C
on
last I,F transformer (L47, L48). Tune the generator
to
about 7
k.c.
off
I,F resonance
and
adjust the crystal
phasing control
C7S
for minimum response.
Adjustment
of
Crystal Load Circuit - Make con'
nections
as
for the preceding adjustment.
(a)
Place Selectivity switch in Position
3.
Rock
the
signal generator frequency back and forth
across the
I,F resonant frequency and adjust
the crystal load circuit trimmer
L3'1
for sym'
metrical round,top curve.
(b)
Place the Selectivity switch in Position
4.
Rock
the
signal generator frequency and adjust trim-
mer
C81
for symmetrical curve.
(c)
Place the Selectivity switch in Position
5.
Ad,
just trimmer C80 rocking
the
signal generator
as for (a) and
(b)
above.
The
above three adjustments are very critical and
must be made carefully to obtain symmetrical curves.
Adjustment
of
Wave
Trap
- A wave trap is con-
nected across the broadcast band antenna primary
to
increase the rejection of I·P signal frequencies.
With
the
range switch on Position I, apply a modulated
I·F
signal to
the
antenna and ground terminals. Adjust
the wave trap trimmer
U7
(See Fig. 3) for minimum
output.
The
wave trap should
be
adjusted before
the
final
R-
F alignment on No. 1 band, or the antenna
coil alignment may be affected.
R·F Alignment - A signal generator covering a
range from
53
5 k.c.
to
32
megacycles, and an
output
voltmeter, are required.
It
is
desirable
to
connect a
speaker across the output terminals.
The
output volt-
meter should then
be
connected across the speaker
voice coil.
The
output impedance
is
2.25 ohms. Re·
move the cover from over the R·F unit by loosening
the four knurled screws and lifting
off.
