1. MW VT Check
Settings :
· Test point : TP4 (VT)
Method :
Set to MW 1602kHz and check that the test point is
less than 5.6V.
2. MW Tracking Adjustment
Settings :
· Test point : TP7 (RCH), TP8 (LCH)
· Adjustment location : L981
Method :
Set to MW 999kHz and adjust L981so that the test
point becomes maximum.
3. AM IF Adjustment
Settings :
· Test point : TP7 (RCH), TP8 (LCH)
