Section
-1.
Connect
the sweep
generator
output
to
TPS and
oscilloscope's
vertical
terminal to TP6.
Turn
the tuning
knob of the set
fully
clockwise.
2.
When the sweep
generator
f requency
is
set
to
452.5KH2
and its output
level
is increased, a waveform
as shown
in Fig-
2
is obtained.
Keep the
output
of
SSG
as small
as
possible
and
the
vertical
gain
of
oscillosc()pe
as
large
as
possible.
3.
Adiust
the
cores
of I FT4 and
lFT5 of obtain
maximum
height
of the waveform
with
good
symmetry.
1-3 Tracking
adjustment
Apply the output of
SSG
to the set through dummy
load-
Bring
the
set's dial
pointer
to
the
maximum
frequency
point
on the
dial and set
the
AM SG
to 1620KH2.
Adiust the OSC trimmer
(TC6l
to
receive
162OKHz-
Next set the
dial
pointer
to the left end
(minimum
receiving frequencyl,
set the
SSG
signal to
520KHz,
and
adjust
L4
to receive this
signal. Repeat these adiustments
2
-
3 times
so
that the receiving
band width
becomes
52OKHz
-
1620KH2.
Now adjust the
ANT
trimmer
(TC4)
and RF trimmer
(TC5)
on the same
frequency
so that the
Audio
output
becomes maximum.
15
-
20dB output of
SSG
is
suitable
for
the
adiustment.
The
volume
and tone controls must
be

Turn the tuning
knob of the set
fully clockwise.
2.
With the sweep
generator
frequency set
of 10.7MHz
when
the output
level
of
the sareep
generator
is
gradually
increased,
waveform
shown
in Fig.

Now
perform
the
following
adjustment.
Keep the FM SSG
output as
small as
possible
and the
vertical
gain
of oscilloscope
as
large
as
possible.
3. Adjust
the core
(green)
of lFTl
for
maximum
height
of
the
waveform
with
good
symmetry.
Adjust
the
core
(blue)
of lFT3 for
maximum
height
of
the waveform.
4.
Connect
the
vertical terminal of oscilloscope
to
TP3.
Adiust
the core
(black)
of lFT3 for
good
linearity and
good
symmetry
of the s-curve.

1.
Turn the
tuning knob fully

Adjust the
OSC trimmer

87.5MHz
from
the FM
SSG.
2. furn the
tuning knob
to
receive
98MHz.
Set
the
output
of FM
SSG
ro
approximately lOdB
and adjust
the
ANT trimmer
(TC1)
and RF trimmer
(TC2)
to
obtain
maximum
