Adjust For A Reading Of 6 On
Meter M102 With 60 dbV (1mV)
Input.
NOTE:
For FM Detector Alignment Use A Signal Of 75 KHz Deviation, 1 KHz Modulation. Also Connect Generator Modulation Frequency To
Scope Horizontal. Adjust Generator IF Frequency To Center Total Bandpass Waveform. Do Not Change Generator IF Frequency For
Remainder Of IF Alignment. (If Your Generator Does Not Provide Output For Audio Modulation Frequency Use Horizontal Output
From Generator, Or Scope Horizontal Sweep, And Follow Step 38C.) Minimum Distortion Can Only Be Achieved By Use Of Step 38A
Below.
