The manual for the Kenwood SM-220 alignment procedure includes specific instructions for adjusting the pan display, emphasizing the need to follow steps for maximizing the amplitude of the center trace and ensuring equal roll-off at the edges. It also clarifies that the TS-940S calibrator uses a 100 kHz marker, not a 25 kHz marker, and provides guidance on adjusting VR202 and TC201 for optimal display results.

Manual Overview

The Kenwood SM-220 alignment procedure for the TS-940S/BS-8 requires specific adjustments to ensure proper display functionality. During the alignment process, it is important to note that the scope marker injected into the transceiver IF will not be audible through the TS-940S speaker or headphones. The TS-940S uses a 100 kHz marker, resulting in three traces visible on the display. The adjustment should focus on maximizing the amplitude of the center trace while ensuring equal roll-off at the edges. The center trace should ideally be higher than the edge traces. Adjustments to VR202 and TC201 are necessary to achieve the desired display configuration as illustrated in Figure 1. It is important to remember that the adjustments will not significantly alter the display, and the center trace should be the tallest if possible. The remaining steps should be followed as outlined in the SM-220 manual.
