[1000mp] Mark V S meter adjustment

[D. J.]

Here's how you do it on the MKV:

S-meter coarse alignment

Preset VR2003 fully counter clockwise and adjust VR2003 so that all 
S-meter segments are just turned off.  Preset the RF GAIN control fully 
counter clockwise and adjust VR2002 so that all S-meter segments are 
just turned on.

IF gain

Turn the transceiver off then press and hold in the FAST and LOcK 
buttons and turn the transceiver on again.  Connect the RF signal 
generator to the antenna jack and inject a +11dBu signal.  Select menu 
function 9-1 and adjust the main VFO knob for a 1 segment S-meter 
deflection.

S-meter Full Scale

Connect the RF signal generator to the antenna jack and inject a +100 
dBu signal.  Tune for peak indication on the S-meter.  Now adjust 
VR2002 for S9+60 dB ib on the S-meter.

  Taken right out of the MKv service manual pages 3-6 and 3-7..
