INTERNAL ADJUSTMENTS

REFERENCE FREQUENCY CALIBRATION

Note:

The transceiver is adjusted at the factory prior to shipping.
Unless necessary, DO NOT perform this adjustment.

If you have installed the optional SO-2 unit, you cannot perform
this adjustment.

1 Set the following on the transceiver:

Mode: CW

AF control: Center

Menu No. 20 (CW RX pitch): 800 Hz

IF SHIFT control: Center

Receive bandwidth {page 38}: 600 Hz

RIT function: OFF

Break-in function (VOX): OFF

2 Remove the bottom case (8 screws) from the

transceiver.

3 Remove the protective cover installed on the PC

board (6 screws).

4 Tune in a standard frequency station such as WWV

or WWVH at, for example, 10.000 or 15.000 MHz.

Adjust the Tuning control so that the display
reads the exact frequency of the station.

You should hear a beat tone of approximately
800 Hz.

For 800 Hz:

f

af

= (f

display

/20.000 x

f

reference

) + 800 Hz

where

f

reference

is the shift from the 20 MHz

reference frequency

5 Close your CW key and you will hear a transmit

sidetone of approximately 800 Hz.

This sidetone produces a double beat tone when
it combines with the received signal.

Adjust the AF control to hear the double beat
clearly.

For 800 Hz:
f

sidetone

= 800 Hz

±

50 ppm (= 800

±

0.04 Hz)

where

f

reference

is the shift from the 20 MHz

reference frequency
