I received an sx-1010 which had trouble tuning in stations (Among many other things). It was in sad shape when I received it but after cleaning/lubing the VC shaft and cleaning the fins it showed new signs of life.
The signal meter never really recovered, never showing any real strong stations when tuning in the local frequencies. The best I could get was about half scale on stations I normally get near full scale on other tuners. This still holds true.
I have a Sound Technology 1000A and after connecting it up I can adjust the RF Level on the ST-1000 to -85db and hit 5 on the 1010's signal strength scale. The SM never discusses the adjustment. I see VR3 will adjust the meter.
What I'm asking, is there a standard for this adjustment? Or does this tuner have other issues? My ST and 1010 are set up and tuned to 98MHz, modulated at 400Hz,
Note: Beginning to get familiar with this RF thing.
