RECEIVER ALIGNMENT

We use highly accurate RF signal  test equipment to assure proper frequency and amplitude settings during the alignment procedure.

When your receiver arrives, it is unpacked and carefully inspected for any damage it may have sustained prior to arrival at our shop. If undamaged, the unit will be powered up to determine if it is serviceable.

If not serviceable, you will be contacted to determine if you want the equipment evaluated and a status and repair recommendations report provided to you.

If it is serviceable, the realignment work will be scheduled and you will be sent an estimate of when the equipment will be shipped back to you.  The alignment procedure will be done according to factory procedures provided in the manufacturer's manuals or service bulletins. After realignment, the set will be tested "live," using appropriate antennas for each amateur band.

If issues are discovered when the receiver is being aligned, i.e. weak tubes or a bad crystal, or a modification exists which keeps the alignment process from continuing, you will be contacted with our recommendations for additional servicing. If you agree, the work will be done and the alignment procedure will be completed.
