399....
Sometimes I do my alignment by ear then hook up the sinad and I seem to do just as good with out it lol.

I used to do it that way too, but my hearing isn't what it used to be. So now I trust my meters.

Hello. I am starting to experiment with a VTVM meter. The model is the KYORITSU K-1420. I have no idea how it should be used for adjusting the RX coils of CB equipment. I have read in most manuals that injecting with the generator a signal of 108dbm at the frequency of 27.205MHz CH20 at a tone of 1KHZ. Connect the VTVM meter to the external speaker connector. But I can't get movement in the VTVM needle. What mode should I use AC DC- DC + OHM? Let's see if someone can point me to the right path. Since now I only use the smeter method for that adjustment, but when I have to do it in a digital meter ...

Good old school vtvm will fit the bill just fine. I use an HP 8903B. Great piece of gear for rxvr work

Is this still a solid program for aligning receive? Sometimes software developers fall behind with updates as operating systems update. This is something I'd like to incorporate onto another bench.
