[ICOM] IC-215 alignment inst. ???

[Dave Edwards]

Mac.....I do have the owner's manual.  It has a simplified theory of op, and 
a block diagram and schematic. I suppose I could just tune the RF stage on 
xmit, and go through the IF stages on receive...but when alignment 
instructions exist, I like to follow them.  I suppose I'll check the receive 
with a generator, and the xmit on a wattmeter to see just how off it is from 
145 to 146 range. Might not be worth it, especially if those little xfmr 
cans are full of wax!
...Dave
