Hello. I just finished recapping a 2230. Every board was recapped with the exception of the FM and AM boards as I hear strange things can happen and I do no have the proper equipment outside a Oscilloscope to do an alignment. Problem is the Tuning meter does not seem to work at all when listening to the FM tuner. A couple notes:
-The meter works fine when on AM. Seems to move accurately when pulling in Stations.
-The FM tuner pulls in stations beautifully including Stereo separation.
-The Stereo light works fine
-The FM tuner sounds great.
-The Cap across the meter was also replaced.
-The meter did not respond to FM signals prior to the recap.
-When tuning FM, the meter does budge. Not even a wobble.
-Yes I checked and cleaned the antennae switch on the back of the unit.
Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity or calibrate the meter without a full alignment?
Every thread I have uncovered seems to recommend an alignment. My tuner sounds great and pulls in stations well though so I am unsure it is required here. Hoping there is a easy solution out there. Thanks.
