Alignment
Whenever possible, alignments should be made with
oscillator shields and circuit boards firmly affixed
in place. Also, the test equipment must be thorough-
ly warmed up before beginning.
Note: Signal levels in dB referred to in the alignment
procedure are based on 0dBµ = 0.5µV.
Set up the test equipment as shown below, and ap-
ply 13.8V DC power to the transceiver.
The VX-1700 must be programmed for use in the
intended system before alignment is attempted. The
frequency and other parameters are loaded from the
file during the alignment process.
In order to facilitate alignment over the complete
operating range of the equipment, it is recommend-
ed that the channel data first be uploaded and then
stored to disk. Alignment Channel data should then
be downloaded. The original data can be replaced
at the end of the alignment process.
