Anyone know which pots to turn on the 2950 to adjust the tx and rec freqency + the frequency counter?
I have a freind who got his 2985 ligned up and I want to adjust my 2950 to align with his rec and tx frequencies.
I plan on having him set his clarifier to 12:00 and then I will transmit a little and he will tell me to tune more or not till I sound good to him.
Then I will have him transmit to me on and off as I adjust my rec. till he sounds good.
Then I can adjust my counter to match his when I am done doing the other adjustments.
Does this sound like a good idea to get my radio close?
Thanks |

Thank you 808xyl, I did what you said and searched and found all the info you wanted me to see. I am sorry but I am still unsure, The way I am understanding it L21 is what I adjust on ssb to adjust my transmit freq. till my friend hears me clear. And then adjust L28 to adjust the receive on ssb till my friend sounds clear.
Am I correct?
Thanks |

Airplane1,
Without having your radio properly aligned / tuned to Ranger Factory Specifications I personally would "NOT" recommend adjusting / tunning anything until you are 100% sure that the problem is with your radio and not your friends radio.
It takes a lot of equiment and time to properly tune/align a radio to have it transmit and receive on frequency.
And with a properly tuned / aligned radio set to Ranger factory specificitons it should need NO ADJUSTMENTS.
Sorry but there are no shortcuts.

Thanks Lon for your reasoning, I was thinking that also because being unsure and no equipment I might mess up bad.
Have a great day |
