I was calling and calling and calling...
As soon as light dawned on Marblehead, I realized that the transceive alignment
between my recently-acquired T-4XB and R-4B #1 (The Problem Child) was off.
I assumed (wrongly) that you aligned like with the T-4X - that didn't really
work out.
In reading the procedure in the T-4XB manual, where they're telling you to
adjust C61 until the tweets zero out, I finally figured that you're listening
to the carrier oscillator by putting the RF tuning onto that other peak you
hear on the 80m band. I also figured out that you had to adjust the GAIN
control while in SPOT until you could hear it.
And yet, it seems I'm still calling and nobody's answering. Is it just weird
band conditions tonight or is there another way that I could have misaligned
the receiver? I am assuming the transmitter is okay because the PO was using
it with no trouble. It could be a bad assumption, but it also seems more
"right" that C61 is now more midrange than it was before (MUCH more midrange)...
