CONFIRMATION STEP 3: ANTENNA SYSTEM SIMPLE INSPECTION [AUDIO]

NOTE:

• Because the antenna system is equipped with a capacitor, the continuity cannot be checked. Therefore proceed to the following simple inspection.

• Turn the AM radio on.

• Tune to the frequency with no radio broadcast and listen for a buzzing sound.

• Turn a hand-held light on and shake it around the antenna rod (around 10—20 mm)

• If a whirring sound from the speaker synchronized to the work light movement is confirmed, the antenna system is normal.

NOTE:

• Use a fluorescent light type for the inspection. Accurate diagnosis cannot be done with a different type of light.
