Alignment
Internal System Alignment Routine
This uses a programmed routine in the transceiver, which
simplifies many previously complex discrete component
settings and adjustments with digitally controlled settings
via front panel buttons and LCD indications.
To enter the alignment mode:
Program the alignment password "AH028M" into
the CW ID memory via the Set Mode Item 19: CW ID.
(See the box below for programming the alignment
password.)
Turn off the transceiver.
Press and hold in the [TXPO] button while powering
the radio on to enter the alignment mode.
In the alignment mode, each adjustment item is shown
on the LCD in the Memory Channel Number display
slot, and is selected by rotating the DIAL knob.
To exit the alignment mode:
Press the [HM/RV] button.
Clear the alignment password from the CW ID mem-
ory, and program the user's CW ID, if needed.
Warning!: Do not change the alignment items which are
not described in the adjustment procedures.
