The FRG-100 is carefully designed to allow
the knowledgeable Operator to make nearly
all adjustments for various Station conditions,
modes and Operator preferences simply from
the controls on the front and rear Panels, with-
out having to open the
case
of the transceiver.
The FRG-100 Operation manual describes
these adjustments, plus certain internal
set-
tings.
..-
The following procedures cover the
some-
times critical and tedious adjustments that are
not normally required once the transceiver
has left the factory. However, if darnage
oc-
curs
and some Parts subsequently are
re-
placed, realignment may be required. If a
sudden Problem occurs during normal opera-
tion, it is likely due to component failure;
re-
alignment should not be done until after the
fault component has been replaced.
We recommend that
servicing
be
per-
formed by authorized Yaesu Service techni-
cians,
experienced with the circuitry and fully
equipped for repair and alignment. So, if a
fault is suspected, you should contact the
sell-
ing dealer for instructions regarding repair.
Authorized Yaesu Service technicians have
the latest modification information, and
re-
align all circuits and make complete perform-
ante
Checks
to ensure compliance with
factory specifications after replacing faulty
components.
Those who do undertake any of the follow-
ing alignments are cautioned to proceed at
their own risk. Problems
caused
by
unauthor-
ized attempts at realignment are not covered
by the warranty
policy.
Also, Yaesu must
re-
serve the right to change circuits and align-
ment procedures in the interests of improved
Performance, without notifying owners.
,..
Under no circumstances should any align-
ment be attempted unless the normal function
and Operation of the receiver are clearly
un-
derstood, the
Cause
of the malfunction has
been clearly pinpointed and any faulty
com-
ponents replaced, and the need for realign-
ment determined to be absolutely
necessary.
The following test equipment (and
thor-
ough familiarity with it’s correct use) is neces-
sary for complete realignment. Correction of
the Problems caused by misalignment result-
ing from use of improper test equipment is
not covered under the warranty
policy.
While
most
Steps
do not require all of the equipment
listed, the interactions of some adjustments
may require that more complex adjustments
be performed afterwards. DO not attempt to
perform only a
Single
step un less it is clearly
isolated electrically from all other Steps.
Rather, have all test equipment ready before
beginning, and follow all of the
Steps
in a
section in the
Order
they are presented.

Except where specified otherwise, the
re-
ceiver should be tuned to 14.2 MHz, and the
following controls set as indicated;
all buttons off
all knobs fully CCW (minimum)
After completing one
Step,
read the follow-
mg step to determine whether the same test
equipment will be required. If not, remove the
test equipment before proceeding.
Correct alignment requires that the ambi-
ent temperature be the same as that of the
receiver and test equipment, and that this
temperature be held
constant
between 20 and
30”
C (68
-
88”
F). If the
receiver
is brought into
the shop from hot or
cold
air it should be
allowed some time for thermal equalization
with the environment before alignment.
Alignments must only be made with the
oscillator shields and circuit boards firmly in
.
