KRK12C UHF TUNER ALIGNMENT
Alignment of the UHF portion of the tuner should not be attem pted unless the following te s t equipment is available, in addition to the usual VHF te s t
equipment: UHF sweep gen erato r covering the frequency range of 470MC to 890MC. A m ark er gen erato r, of c ry sta l accuracy, covering the sam e
frequency range.
Remove the RF o sc illa to r tube (V2/6AF4) fro m its s o c k et
Connect the potentiom eter a rm of the 15 volt bias supply to the ungrounded side of C55. Connect the positive lead to ch a ssis. A djust the potentiom eter
arm f o r- 9 volts at C55.
Connect the synchronized sweep voltage fro m the sweep g e n erato r to the horizontal input of the oscilloscope fo r horizontal deflection.
The sweep gen erato r output lead should be term inated with its c h a ra c te ristic impedance, usually 50 ohms.
Set the fine tuning control to the m id-position of its range.
If strong interferen ce is encountered from an FM station ad ju st the FM tra p to m inim ize this in terferen ce. This tra p is fastened to the tra n sm issio n line
