MODULATOR/ DEMODULATOR A1A1 ALIGNMENT

TM 11-5820-919-40-2

The alignment procedure is to be used an either of these situations: (1) the

performance test calls a potentiometer out of adjustment, or (2) one of the

following is replaced:

1. First Converter, A1A1A1

2. Second Converter, A1A1A2

3. Third Converter, A1A1A3

4. Audio Control Hybrid, A1A1A4

The procedure consists of a preliminary setup and an adjustment procedure.
