Test and Alignment
In the following steps you will connect your transverter to your
station equipment to perform a complete alignment and test
procedure. We recommend that you first set up your transverter as
described below to complete the initial tests and alignment. Once
you have the transverter aligned and tested, your Owner’s Manual
describes a number of ways you can then alter the installation to
best integrate the transverter with your station.
If you encounter any difficulties with the alignment and test procedures:
_ Carefully check your setup to ensure all cables are properly
connected.
_ Inspect again your parts placement and soldering on the PCBs.
Most initial difficulties are eventually traced to an incorrectly
placed component or a bad solder connection. The circuit
description and schematic diagrams in your Owner’s Manual can
help you decide which circuits to check, based on where in the
alignment and test procedures you experience difficulty.
_ Refer to the Troubleshooting information in your Owner’s
Manual for nominal voltages at key points around the circuit in
normal operation.
Turn to the Installation Procedures in your Transverter Owner’s
Manual and follow those instructions to connect your transverter to your
other station equipment including the rig you will us for a 28 MHz I.F.
Perform the complete Alignment and Test Procedures in your
Owner’s Manual to properly adjust and calibrate your transverter and
verify that it is operating normally.
Congratulations!
You have completed the assembly, test and alignment of your
transverter. Turn to your Owner’s Manual for complete installation
and operating instructions.
Your Owner’s Manual also describes modifications and optional
accessories for your transverter that you may choose to best integrate it
with your station equipment.
