Hi Everyone,
So in my continuing discovery of interesting things with the 2950DX 6 one of the variable inductors does not have any affect on the TX alignment results. I am drawing from the 2950 DX/CD alignment guide for this. The instructions say to put the radio in AM, TX with no modulation and adjust L38, L37, L35 and L34 for max reading. This radio has all of the inductors and they are within a shield labeled TX so I think I'm good here. L38, L35 and L34 all have the expected results. L37 however has no affect at all. I can run the core from the top to the bottom with 0 change. Has anyone ever seen this before?
