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.
