If you are experienced aligning older radios (and prepared for snafu's that
occasionally happen), I would suggest first aligning the bfo oscillators
(described in the manual under TX Audio Board) and then perform the TCXO
calibration described at http://tentecwiki.org/doku.php?id=563calibrate

It is arguable that the sensible option is to send it into the Ten-Tec
service department.
