This chapter describes both receiver and transmitter radio alignment procedures.
6.1 Test Setup
A personal computer (PC) and tuner software are required to align the radio. Refer to the applicable
manual for installation and setup procedures for the software. To perform the alignment procedures,
the radio must be connected to the PC and to a universal test set. The radio alignment test setup is
shown in Figure 6-1.
