Dayne,
No, the majority of voltage readings taken during alignment are DC, and
should be made with a high-impedance DVM or VTVM. The only AC
measurements needed are for squelch setting. This info comes from my
PPL-6060 service manual.
Most DVMs don't function well in a high RF field, so keep your handheld
radio away from it while taking readings.
