The switch also is connected to the terminal block, and has

two separate leads.

(3) The bracket of Adapter M-394 is designed for permanent installation in Receiver-Transmitter BC-620-(*).When it is installed, and the connections made properly, the

adapter switch at ALIGN converts the receiver-amplifier-stage of the set into a vacuum-tube-voltmeter circuit utilizingthe panel meter of the set. This permits the changing ofchannels as well as complete alignment of the set withoutusing an external meter. With the adapter switch at OFF,Adapter M-394 does not interfere with the ordinary use ofthe set..

b. Installing Adapter M-394.—

(1) Take the receiver-transmitter from its case, by removing all the screws around the edge of the panel and pulling the chassis forward.

(2) Use a %6" open-end wrench to disconnect the twoleads attached to the panel meter of the set, and then con

nect these leads to terminals B and R of Adapter M-394,Fig. 3, attaching the red lead to R.

(3) Take the two separate leads of Adapter M-394,Fig. 3, and connect them to the meter terminals, attachingthe red lead to the meter terminal nearest transformer T6.

(4) Remove the two screws from the edge of the topcover of battery Box BX-4 that contains Battery BA-41, andmount the bracket of Adapter M-394 there, using the originalscrews.

(6) Put the set in operation by turning the VOLUMEcontrol full ON (to the right).

(7) Throw the adapter switch to ALIGN, and notethe panel meter reading. Turn the VOLUME control all theway back (to the left) from full ON, and note the change inthe meter reading. If the change is more than one division,replace Tube VT-185 that is in the adapter socket, Fig. 6,

with another one [Receiver-Transmitter BC-620-(*) has fourVT-185's] until one is found that is satisfactory. (This checksthe VT-185 for grid current, and it is essential for the alignment procedure that a tube with little or no grid current be

used in the adapter socket. Normal tubes will satisfy thiscondition, but one that produces a change of several divisionsin the meter reading has abnormal grid current, and must be

replaced.) The VT-185 that is selected should produce a meterreading between 1.5 and 2.5.

(8) Turn the VOLUME control full ON (to the right)again. Note the meter reading with the adapter metering

(5) Leave the metering plug in Pin No. 8. With theCHANNEL switch at A, adjust trimmer A7 for maximumnoise in the phones. Watch for the dip in the meter reading,as it is the correct adjustment of the capacitor. Then turnthe CHANNEL switch to B.and similarly adjust trimmer B7.

(6) Repeat operations (3), (4), and (5).(7) The preceding operations completely align chan

nels A and B of the receiver, and must be completed beforeproceeding further. Also, before undertaking further operations, it is necessary to calibrate the meter, as follows:

(a) Note the meter reading with the metering plugheld away from the set.

(b) Ground the metering plug to the chassis, and notethe meter reading. Reduce the VOLUME control setting until the difference between the two readings is 41/-; divisions.Then do not disturb this setting of the VOLUME control during the following operations.

(8) Insert the metering plug in Pin No. 3 of the metering socket. Remove Tube VT-179 (the first radio frequency amplifier tube) from the set. With the CHANNELswitch at A, press the "push-to-talk" switch and carefullyadjust trimmer A4 for a minimum reading on the meter.There may be several different settings of A4 that give a

minimum reading. The correct adjustment is the one that

(15) Turn the panel meter switch to OPERATE. Setswitch SW2 to ON. With the CHANNEL switch at A, pressthe "push-to-talk" switch and adjust trimmer A7 for a minimum reading on the meter. This reading should be less than1.0. Then turn the CHANNEL switch to B and similarlyadjust B7. These adjustments of trimmers A7 and B7 shouldapproximate the settings obtained in operation (5). If theydo not, repeat operations (8), (9), (10), and (11).

(16) Disconnect the power cable, and replace Receiver-Transmitter BC-659-(*) in its case, taking care to see thatthe gasket is seated properly and that the panel screws aretightened to effectively seal the unit. If Case CS-79-(*) wasused, remove Adapter RS-259 from Battery BA-39.

(17) With the set in its case, connect the power cable,

(19) In some vehicular installations, the meter reading with the panel meter switch at OPERATE may be greaterthan full scale. Whenever this is the case, again adjust trimmers A7 and B7 for minimum readings on the meter, withthe set in position in the vehicle and the antenna connected.Usually it is not necessary to readjust trimmers A7 and B7after they have been adjusted with the set. in the case andno antenna connected.

d. Complete Alignment of Radio Sets SCR-609-(*) and

SCR-610-(*)<—

For complete alignment it is necessary to adjust thetrimmers on transformers T2, T3, T4, and T5. To do this,remove the set from the case, connect it to its power supply,and proceed as follows:

(1) Turn the CHANNEL switch to either A or B.(2) Remove the corresponding crystal (either A or

B) from the crystal socket and replace it with the 4.3 mc.

crystal that is part of Alignment Equipment ME-73.

(3) Set up the alignment unit as instructed in Par.9a (6), (7), and (8).

(4) Insert the metering plug in Pin No. 3 of the metering socket. With the VOLUME CONTROL full ON, adjust the adjustment screws (on top of the cans and under the

chassis) of transformers T2, T3, and T4 until you get a minimum reading on the meter.
