Tuning Dial Brake Adjustment; Frequency Calibration (Approximate); Maintenance - Icom IC-756PROII Instruction Manual

Tuning dial brake adjustment

The tension of the tuning dial may be adjusted to suit
your preference.
The brake adjustment screw is located on the right
side of the tuning dial. See the figure at right.
Turn the brake adjustment screw clockwise or coun-
terclockwise to obtain a comfortable tension level
while turning the dial continuously and evenly in one
direction.
Frequency calibration
A very accurate frequency counter is required to cali-
brate the frequency of the transceiver. However, a
rough check may be performed by receiving radio
station WWV, or other standard frequency signals.
CAUTION:
Your transceiver has been thor-
oughly adjusted and checked at the factory before
being shipped. You should not calibrate frequen-
cies, except for special reasons.
q Push [SSB] to select USB mode.
w Push [PBT CLR] for 1 sec. to clear the PBT set-
tings and make sure that the RIT/∂TX function is
not activated.
e Set the frequency to the standard frequency sta-
tion minus 1 kHz.
• When receiving WWV (10.000.00 MHz) as a standard
frequency, set the
9.999.00 MHz.
• Other standard frequencies can also be used.

o Adjust the calibration pot on the right side panel of
the transceiver for a zero beat with the received
standard signal as shown below.
• Zero beat means that two signals are exactly the same
frequency, resulting in a single tone being emitted.

calibration marker OFF.
