I'm in the process of attempting to aligning a 390. I'm now in the fourth
echelon, alignment section, #77 e. on page 94 for Alignment of the Second
Crystal Oscillator. I have my VTVM set for negative voltage between E209 and
ground with a CW signal from my URM-25F going between ground and E210. I can
peak slug T402 but the problem is is that trimmer 31 does nothing at all
when it is turned. In fact I am reading the PTO on my frequency generator
which is hooked up to the URM-25F. It appears that I am getting nothing from
the signal generator into the radio at all and it works fine, all I am
reading is the PTO output. I have the receiver on standby as it says. I have
to be doing something wrong but I can't figure it out. The frequency dial is
set at 31 also. Could this be a bad crystal?
I just found a great way to read your PTO's frequency output though, hi!
Mine was 3 kc off at 500 so I moved it the 3 kilocycles, this was after I
encountered this problem.
Up to this point everything went fine although parts of it were a PITA, by
the way I'll see everyone at the NEAR-fest Friday rain or shine, don't want
to miss the R 390A class, this is a R390/URR BTW not a R390A/URR,
