Sure, I can help... Look up the receiver coil preset charts in the service manual and reset every coil to the factory preset. Then align the receiver using the manual steps in the proper order.
Most people will only "retouch" the front end helicals. You need to do the entire realignment from scratch (out of adjustment) to properly align the injection levels. There is one or or two very small peak/dip adjustments, which can be missed. One must stare at the MSR alignment box after a cup of good coffee (not evil empire starbucks) to not miss one of the small peaks. Aligning the receiver with all the coils out of adjustment (presets) is quite different than a touch up, where the coils are somewhat near their final values. The injection change levels are different and that makes a difference. The MSR / Mitrek Receiver taught me not to fudge the complete alignment. cheers skipp www.radiowrench.com > "n9wys" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Our repeater is an MSR2000 UHF model, Model # C74GBS3106BT.
