Elenco AM/FM Radio Kit - Manual (Page 55)

Connect the RF generator and VOM to the circuit as
shown in Figure 50. Set your VOM to read 9 volts DC.
Set your generator at 10.7MHz no modulation and
moderate signal strength output. Turn the power ON.
Record the voltage of D1 here:
V(D1) = ________.
While watching your VOM, slowly decrease the
frequency of your generator. As the frequency
decreases, the voltage at D1 should increase.
Increase the frequency of the generator until the
voltage is equal to V(D1). While watching your VOM,
increase the frequency of your generator. As the
frequency increases, the voltage at D1 should
decrease. This correction voltage is what keeps the
oscillator from drifting. If the voltage at D1 still does
not change at D1, check D1, R29, R30, C26 and
C27. If these parts are inserted correctly and the
voltage at D1 still doesn’t change, then increase the
amplitude of your generator and repeat the same
steps again. Turn the power OFF.
