ALIGNMENT
Alignment Precautions
Correct alignment requires that the ambient
temperature be the same as that of the
transceiver and test equipment, and that
this temperature be held constant between
20 and 30 °C (68 to 86 °F). When the trans-
ceiver is brought into the shop from hot or
cold air it should be allowed some time for
thermal equalization before alignment.
Alignments must only be made with oscillator
shields and circuit boards firmly affixed in
place. Also, the test equipment must be
thoroughly warmed up before beginning.
Alignment values assume an internal DC bus
voltage of 13.5V DC.
Note: Signal levels in dB referred to in the
alignment procedure are based on
OdBu=0.5uV.
