6-1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Your transceiver has been factory aligned and tested to
specification before shipment. Under normal circumstances

ating instructions. All adjustable trimmers and coils in your
transceiver has been adjusted at the factory and should only
be readjusted by a qualified technician with proper test
equipment. Attempting service or alignment without fac­
tory authorization can void the transceiver's warranty.
