Which failure would make a receiver's tuning meter read full scale on every station?

  • A.A failed loudspeaker
  • B.An open antenna
  • C.A misaligned padder capacitor
  • D.A broken automatic gain control feedback path

Answer: D

With the feedback path broken the stages run at full gain regardless of signal strength, so the detector saturates and the meter pins on anything. A failed loudspeaker gives silence with a normal meter. An open antenna gives low readings. And a padder fault spoils tracking, giving mistuning rather than saturation. Predicting the symptom from the broken loop, rather than working backwards from the symptom, is often the faster route.
