    Calibrating the Wireless Set No. 17 Wavemeter Mk.II (ZA 17133)

    Due to the uncalibrated nature of the No. 17 Mk. II's tuning scale, this absorption wavemeter was provided as an essential accessory.

    Calibration Process:

    Frequency Selection: Using the supplied calibration chart, set the wavemeter knob to the desired transmission frequency.

    Positioning: Lay the wavemeter on its side, ensuring the wooden projection faces the back compartment of the set, near the RF coil positioned between the two valves.

    Tuning for Resonance: With the transceiver in "SEND" mode, adjust the dial until the wavemeter lamp exhibits its brightest glow. This indicates successful tuning to the chosen frequency.
