Which alignment step comes first when servicing a superheterodyne receiver?

  • A.Setting the oscillator padder
  • B.Checking the audio output power into a known load
  • C.Aligning the intermediate frequency stages
  • D.Adjusting the antenna trimmer

Answer: C

The intermediate frequency stages are aligned first, because everything downstream of the mixer must be correct before the tracking of the front end can be judged. Trimmer and padder adjustments follow, at the high and low ends of the band respectively. Audio power is checked last, being independent of tuning. Alignment procedures are ordered by dependency rather than by convenience, and doing them out of order means repeating them.
