[Repeater-Builder] Motorola TEK-5E test set, slightly OTT

2006-03-17 Thread n3dab
Greetings to the group,

I was trying to tune some Mitrek rcvr's. using the service manual 
procedure and a TEK-5E test set ( big box with 8 meters on it).  The 
Mitrek manual says to set meters 1 and 2 to reverse for some of the 
tuning steps.  Now my problem, there is NO reverse switch on this 
test set, even though the manual says it is one that can be used for 
Mitreks.  I was used the C setting an the selector switch, should I 
have used the A setting instead ?  The manual implies that you flip 
a forward /reverse switch on the test set.

My question is simple.  What is the simplest to provide the reverse 
meter readings for meters 1  2 in this peice of gear. drill the box 
and install a series of DpDT swicths for each of the required meters or 
are there any other solutions out there.

TIA for any helpful info.

  I have a couple of the earlier TEK-5 metering panels ... when 
 the Micor test modification is installed, there is, I believe, a 
 five position rotary switch in place of the 0-10 / 0-20 VDC meter
 on the lower left hand corner of the earlier panel. 
  
  You might try different positions of this switch to obtain the 
 meter polarity reversal you need. 

  BTW, I haven't studied either of my TEK-5 metering panels or the
 associated manuals to determine a correct answer for your question. 

  Batteries not included / your mileage may vary / smoke test to be 
 performed after the 11 o'clock news. 

  Hope this helps,
