AM ALIGNMENT
PROCEDURE
18.1
AM
IF Alignment
1. Connect a sweep generator to J107 and an alignment scope to the test point ® .
2.
Rotate
each
core
of IF transformer
L116
and
L117
for maximum
height and flat top
symmetrical response.
18.2 AM Frequency Range and Tracking Alignment
1. Set AM signal generator to 525KHz. Turn the tuning capacitor fully closed (place the tuning
pointer at the low end.) and adjust the oscillator coil L115 for maximum audio output.
