zFrequency counter (800 MHz)
Notes:
zUse non-metallic tuning tools.
zThe test equipment and receiver should be warmed up for at least 10 minutes before proceeding with alignment.
zThe signal level from the generator should be kept as low as possible to obtain a usable output.
zTo tune the frequency, press TUNE, frequency number including decimal point, then press ENT.
If you make a mistake, press CL to delete a single digit or hold CL about 2 seconds to start over.

Adjustment of Coils L23, L24, and L26
Notes:
zBe very careful when doing coil pitch adjustment
because it greatly affects the frequency.
zSecure the coil with glue after alignment. Be sure
the glue is dry and the coil is secured. Also, be
sure that the environmental temperature is nor-
mal. Then, repeat VCO (PLL2 and PLL1) align-
ments on Page 6.
Each coil should be adjusted carefully by changing
the pitch of the coil little by little using a non-metallic
tuning tool as shown in Figure 3.
Increase the pitch of the coil when the measured volt-
age at TP2 or TP3 is higher than the voltage listed in
Table 2 for the PLL2 VCO alignment, PLL1 VCO1 align-
ment, and PLL1 VCO2 alignment.
Decrease the pitch of the coil when the measured volt-
age at TP2 or TP3 is lower than the voltage listed in
Table 2 for the PLL2 VCO alignment, PLL1 VCO1 align-
ment, and PLL1 VCO2 alignment.
