First place I tried was the emitter of Q4. Bad spot! The counter displayed the freq, and I readjusted everything. After I disconnected the counter and checked it on the air, it was off considerably. Basically the counter/​cable was pulling the oscillator. The best place I found was the emitter of Q7 (easiest place to make a connection is where R44 connects to the emitter of Q7).

   -Turn the Passband control to the extreme that places the lowest voltage on the varactor. I have to admit I can't remember which direction this is! Basically turn it to whichever extreme show's the highest freq on the counter.   -Turn the Passband control to the extreme that places the lowest voltage on the varactor.

 +I had to adjust the PBT of Omni V transceiver and I could not adjust the PBT with the test point indicated by Anthony.
 + 
 +The difference from the procedure described by Anthony, NT4X, is in the test point. It's possible that my frequency counter is not enough sensitive.
 +
 +This is the procedure I used to adjust the PBT freq:
 +
 +  -Connect a frequency counter to L-3 on the PBT bd.
 +  -Turn the PBT control full CW and adjust C-22 to 15.302.300
 +  -Turn PBT control to 12 o'​clock position and adjust R-18 to read 15.300.000
