7.5 RX Gain
Receiver gain is checked with a SSG connected to J1 (RX IN) connector on TX/RX
board. See Fig. 7.5.1.

Table below shows the ratings. The receiving signal is attenuated by PRESEL board 2
to 3 dB. If the distortion meter is not available, use a vacuum tube voltmeter. S/N
(20 dB)
is about 20log

noise
. Adjust AF gain volume with AGC on so that noise
level from the speaker is 100 mVrms. Adjust SSG level to obtain the 1 V AF output
level to speaker. When the SSG level is +3 dBuV or less, the receiver gain is normal.
See Fig. 7.5.3 for the location of the adjuster.
