generator output terminal to pin 2 of Mic jack and connect pin 3 to ground.
2.��� Connect RF power
meter to antenna jack.
3.��� Connect coupler
to RE power meter.
4.��� Connect 50 ohm

Alignment
Procedure
1.��� Mic: Transmit,
Channel Selector: 19
2.��� Adjust T108,T109,T1
10,L7,and L11-B for max. power output.
3.��� Check output
on Ch1 & Ch40, if power is not equal readjust L7, and L11-B.
4.��� Adjust RV7 so
that output indicator meter is at the 4 watt position.
5.��� Check that frequency
tolerance is plus or minus 400 Hz, if not go back to steps 1-3.
6.��� Remove 50 ohm
dummy load from antenna jack.
7.��� Connect RF attenuator
and spectrum analyzer to antenna jack.
8.��� Check that harmonics
and spurious are suppressed more than -63dB on all channels with no modulation
if it is not within the above range adjust L7, and L11-B (harmonics).
9.��� Turn on the
audio generator and adjust audio level to obtain 80-100% modulation (3mV). Adjust
RV2 to obtain 95% modulation.
