| AM/FM
RF & IF SENSITIVITY: Put mode selector on FM, RF gain fully clockwise, Clarifier at 12 o'clock, frequency at 28.0300 MHz. |
Connect
an FM signal generator to the antenna connector. Set modulation for ±3
kHz, output level at 0.5uV. Connect a SINAD meter to the external speaker jack, volume control at about 10 o'clock. Connect an oscilloscope with a X10 probe to the Cathode of D12. Set sweep selector for 1uS per division and vertical input selector for 10mV per division. |
L8
|
Adjust for best SINAD reading and least distorted waveform on scope. Do not try tuning this coil for maximum, as this will result in degraded receiver performance. |
