Antenna System Simple Inspection

CONFIRMATION STEP 3: ANTENNA SYSTEM SIMPLE INSPECTION

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

Confirmation Step 3:




1. Turn the AM radio on.
2. Tune to the frequency that there is no broadcast and you will hear a buzzing sound.
3. Turn a work light on and shake it around the antenna rod (around 10-20 mm)

NOTE: Use a fluorescent light type for the inspection. Accurate diagnostic cannot be done with a different type of light.

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