I was aligning a Drake R-4B receiver. When aligning the receiver
sensitivity and the S meter the manual states to set the RF gain to
read -15 vols from TP2 (test point 2). The manual states to set the
meter to S40. At -15 volts the highest I can get my meter to go is
S20. I replaced every tube in the receiver except the first RF amp,
and the only reason I did not replace that tube is because I don't
have one of those tubes at this time.

Any ideas why the S meter will not go to S40?
